Neville describes receiving the friend's letters - one typed and signed in script, with a note in Beth's own bold pencil script at the foot which he could not interpret from the platform, and a later letter confirming that she really did take them out and show them the new car on Friday night.

The friend, entering Beth's body to free her from an older musician without hurt, instead expelled the man with contempt and was locked inside her personality for six hours, terrified he would be found in an asylum thinking he was a girl, until a voice of love spoke to him.

The friend told Neville how he left his body, assumed the personality of a young waitress, looked in the mirror, drove a new convertible with the top down, then stepped out and saw her smile at him from behind the wheel - and the next day she actually had that car, bought with unexpected money from her mother.
