Summary: 

In answer to Ike's question - "What do you want?" - the young woman rehearses the story of the McCaslins, the Edmondses, and the "more than that" embodied in the line of black Beauchamps (342). Ike, not seeing the import of that response, accuses her of sounding "almost like a Northerner," and returns to the issue of what she expects from Roth in light of their improper relationship (343).
