Though Henriette refuses her drink , Maloin buys her an expensive mink stole . They return home to the consternation of Camélia , who cannot comprehend why Maloin has ruined Henriette 's chances of a job and spent what little savings the family had on the extravagant stole . During Maloin 's shift the next night he is visited by Morrison , who questions him as to the previous night 's events as the body of the drowned man is retrieved from the quayside below .
