Edward cannot recognize the deformed Quentin. Quentin mentions 9 gypsies. Edward goes to Judith and they talk about their marriages. Judith insults his marriage to his wife, calling it ridiculous when Edward calls her marriage to Trask ridiculous. Judith had a disturbing dream last night about Minerva Trask. She feels there is something attached to the Queen of Spades, namely danger. Judith screams after she goes into the drawing room or Edward leaves it. The cards appear on the table. Edward sees them. Judith seems possessed and leaves the house; Edward follows, leaving the door open. We hear sawing. They go to the graveyard. Minerva's tombstone says she was 50 years old. A tree shakes. We see Edward and Judith through a tree. Minerva possesses Judith.
