Victor watches from outside the window as Quentin tranforms to a werewolf. He later goes to town where he meets Aristede at the Blue Whale. He becomes upset at the sight of the gypsy Julianka, who is searching for Magda. Aristede takes a shine to Julianka and escorts her to the Old House, where she leaves him abruptly. Inside the house she finds Barnabas and tells him that she will end Quentin's curse if she gets the hand of Count Petofi.
