h/w: Here's a link to your somewhat edited reading ass't tonight if you need help navigating it. If you are confident, stick with the book, and read Act II, i, up to line 180. You might want to read the version with my helpful commentary and color coding as well/instead.
Brilliant reminder from a student. . . listening to it AND reading it at the same time makes it easier to understand, so here's a link to the Librivox version.
