archer is stunned upon leaving mrs. mingott' s. he reasons that ellen' s decision to stay in new york must be an indication that she has resolved to have an affair with him. while archer is somewhat relieved that she will be staying, he is also afraid that their affair will be no different than those of his peers and that it will dissolve into a pathetic pack of lies. yet he consoles himself with the thought that he and ellen are different from the rest of new york society and that their unique situation puts them above the judgment of their clan. that evening, he waits in front of beaufort' s house for ellen, who we learn has come to console regina beaufort in the midst of her troubles. they agree to meet the next day at the metropolitan museum .
