Juliana visits Abendsen
Juliana Frink goes to the Abendsen house and meets Hawthorne and Caroline Abendsen. She tells them about the assassination attempt and reveals that she killed Joe. She asks Hawthorne if he used the I Ching to write his book. He admits that he did, and she consults the oracle, receiving Hexagram Sixty-one, Inner Truth, which she interprets as meaning the book is true. Hawthorne is shaken by this revelation.
