Visit to Lolita in Coalmont
Humbert drives to Coalmont and finds Lolita living in a dilapidated shack with her husband, Dick Schiller. She is pregnant, worn, and no longer the nymphet he remembered. He gives her money and begs her to come away with him, but she refuses, saying she loves her husband. She reveals that her kidnapper was Clare Quilty, the playwright. Humbert, heartbroken, leaves her for the last time, knowing he will never see her again.
