On the last day of the fiesta, Cohn has left town, presumably to return to Frances. Jake and Brett pray at the Pamplona cathedral before she visits Romero. Then Jake, Brett, and Bill attend the bullfight, in which Romero, beloved of the crowd, performs spectacularly. Brett leaves town also, in the company of the matador.
The rest of the group splits up. Jake travels to San Sebastian, where he relaxes alone in cafés and on the beach. Soon, however, a telegram from Brett arrives, begging him to join her in Madrid. Jake finds Brett in her hotel room there, devastated by the end of her affair with Romero. Brett reveals that it was she who ended the relationship, and that she intends to return to Mike.
