Mr. Green is available to Karl and never recovered the suitcase open that Karl would have been shipped. The case of Karl is now his entire fortune. Karl will have to start from scratch. In a small-time tavern, he met Robinson and Delamarche, planning to travel to Butterford, hoping to get a job. Karl can go with them, if desired. His questionable friends have no qualms about using the money to Karl, promising to replace it in the future. Karl and lets them make the journey. On one occasion, his friends Karl force the suitcase in his absence. Karl discovers, with horror, the photo has disappeared from their parents. The incident not like it to Karl, who finally broke with his fellow travelers. The head chef of a hotel where he has gone in search of food is very nice to Karl and invites him to stay. Karl is admitted as an elevator in the hotel and may have a shared room with other employees of the hotel.
After some time, Robinson's entire fortune and decides pestering Karl, while Karl is still in service. Asks for money, it annoys. Robinson shows signs of being drunk. Decomposes. Karl wants to assist and to do, is absent without leave from his post for a few minutes, with the misfortune of being caught by his superior. Karl Robinson would have led to his room, where he clashed with Karl roommates. Karl accused. The head chef finds the entire incident, Karl is in serious trouble. Karl decided to fire immediately. Soon, the discredited Karl is on the street and, last but not least, should be responsible for Robinson, mistreated by his aggressive roommates. Karl hire a taxi to take him home Robinson. Robinson now lives with Delamarche, which has an affair with a singer in decline.
Karl has no money to pay the taxi. Police intervention, Karl flees. Delamarche interceding on their behalf and invites him to stay with them at home Brunelda. Apparently Delamarche Brunelda's boyfriend and Robinson became the assistant or servant Brunelda. Karl Robinson wants to replace him in this arduous task. Brunelda temperament is unbearable.

While others sleep, Karl speaks from balcony to balcony with a neighbor, a student, which puts aware of their situation. The neighbor advised to reconsider the offer you have made. Perhaps, after all, not a bad idea to stay there as a servant. Karl ignores him, but then discovers that Brunelda is really unbearable. Moody, hysterical, whimsical. Karl feels miserable.
posthumous fragment (incomplete): Karl warns a sign on the street where recruit interested to join the great theater of Oklahoma. The poster says that anyone applying for a position will be admitted. Karl is presented there. Have turned the race track in an office with staff deployment of immense proportions. However, apparently there are only two applicants for employment, counting it himself. Karl should have been submitted for your records, but have forgotten. He invents a fictitious name because it distrusts the good faith of the company, but then repents. Apparently, the great theater of Oklahoma is a reputable company. At least delivers what it promises. Karl is hired and meets an old colleague from the hotel at the welcome luncheon. Within minutes, leave the train to Oklahoma.
