In Chapter 38, Mark seeks relief with Jim, then visits Mrs. Perowne and her manager to discuss producing Fenella, moving from renewed hope to distrust. Mrs. Perowne offers personal encouragement and help with revisions, but Alfred Gonzales postpones contract discussions and leaves Mark convinced that the manager opposes him.
