Charles Stansfeld Jones walks off his B.C.E.R. job in the afternoon in protest after giving warning about the railway bridge to Kitsalino.

Charles Stansfeld Jones wanders around the city of Victoria believing that he is balancing the universe by crossing and recrossing streets in a magical manner. He goes to the King Edward Hotel, believing that he will meet the King. Instead, he walks, unasked, into a woman's room in the hotel and has sex with her. He is eventually arrested by the police who suspect he is a draft dodger pretending to be mentally ill to evade being drafted into the war. He is thrown into jail where he remains for three days.
