Meanwhile, in John's rooms, John reads a letter from Kate. Something in it sends him into a state of shock.

.تم كتابة الرسالة عن قصد بحيث يطلق جون السخام عند قراءتها

La escribí para que expulsara hollín.
Il fallait que John
émette de la suie,

 per fargli emettere fuliggine.
Escrevi aquilo para que

Письмо написано так,
чтобы он испустил сажу.
