After the party, Lily has two notes
waiting for her, from Judy and Selden, both asking to see her at
various times. Lily is a bit annoyed at Selden's note because she has
made it clear that she doesn't want to marry him, but she says she
will meet him anyway. Later on that night, she heads over to Judy's
house to see her. When she gets there, she is met by Gus, who says
that Judy is in bed and feels sick, and he keeps trying to change the
subject. He talks about how he has given Lily so much money and she
owes him, and implies she needs to pay it back with sex. Lily gets
uncomfortable (with good reason) and demands that she go get Judy.
Gus then reveals that Judy isn't even home, and the note was a trick
to get Lily to come to his house alone. He also reveals that he knows
Lily visited Selden alone that one time. Lily is outraged and says
that if she owes him money she will pay him back in money, and runs
out. Not knowing where to go, she goes to Gerty's house, because
Gerty is always nice to her.
