His race comes down on him and discounts his education all but Cissie.  Tump Pack, furiously jealous, meets him on the street with her and administers a severe beating which adds to his disgrace.  On his way to shoot Peter, later Tump Pack is arrested and sent to the chain gang.  Cissie and Peter become engaged.  Peter's mother dies and he is visited by a wealthy, but strange, old white man, Captain Renfrew, with whom he goes to live.  The night before he is to be married, Cissie confesses that she is immoral, and unfit to be his wife.  Mysterious events come thick and fast, and then on the night before a day of great tragedy, Peter is visited in his room by Cissie.  Dawson Bobbs, tipped off by "The Persimmon," a "white folk's nigger," waits outside.  Cissie comes out and events from there until the end of the story become dynamic with excitement.
