Spring 1939. Pressed for time, Brenner pushes his laborers must unhealthily, so the doctor gets a flow of exhausted and poisoned patients. The elections have finally arrived. As the vicar hinted, the squire isn't relevantly popular: his NSB list looses. Infertile wife Loes convinces Anton to adopt: the retard's plausibly also handicapped baby. His mistress not only keeps welcoming him in bed, she has crucial news, and isn't the only relevant one who tells Anton he knows.
