The Sun Also Rises

The hotelier Montoya visits Jake to express his concern that mixing with rich tourists will corrupt Romero. At dinner, Jake speaks with Romero and a bullfighting critic, after which Brett, clearly infatuated, invites the bullfighter to her table. As usual, Bill and Mike are drunk. Montoya looks on with disapproval; exactly what he feared has come to pass. Once again, Mike picks on Cohn, and the two nearly come to blows. Jake, Brett, Mike, and Bill move on to a café favored by foreigners, where they are joined by a female acquaintance of Bill's who will later be identified as Edna. Mike, Bill, and Edna leave Jake, Brett, and Cohn; Brett lashes out at Cohn, who leaves as well. Brett tells Jake that she feels guilty for having slept with Cohn while engaged to be married, and that she's tired of being pursued by him. She asks Jake if he loves her, and when he says that he does, she says she is in love with Romero. Jake helps Brett find Romero in a café, where they flirt openly. Jake leaves; when he returns, the two are gone.
