Adam is still looking at the kissing picture, saying "Carolyn" and making with the lovesick eyes. Stokes knocks and Adam admits him. They greet each other like long lost friends. Adam prefers Stokes' house; he's lonely here. Stokes observes the cheerless surroundings and hands Adam a bunch of books, a writing pad and some pencils. Adam is pleased, but unhappy Stokes can't stick around. Stokes says Carolyn will help him, but first. . .Adam admits to liking Carolyn very much, but Stokes warns him against liking her TOO much. Stokes feels ill equipped to answer Adam's why, wishing he'd had the foresight to marry and raise a family. He sits down beside Adam and orders him not to panic if anyone else discovers him. Just tell Carolyn, says Stokes, she's his friend and knows what's best for him--obey her wishes--most important are your studies, says Stokes; everyone has warm feelings toward certain other people, which is fine, but for Adam, learning must come first--the sooner he's educated, the sooner he can leave the room and go out among other people.Adam agrees to concentrate on reading and writing. Carolyn joins them, asking to speak to Stokes, who promises to see Adam as soon as he can. Adam and Stokes shake hands.[/spoiler]
