BR does not understand what prevents Bilainkin from appealing to the N.S.P.C.C. He advises Bilainkin to get a friend to appeal to the Court of Chancery to appoint a guardian after investigation. BR also can't understand the bias of the judge and suggests that what Bilainkin needs is "the advice of an able lawyer".

BR suggests the Chancery route because he found it "useful in a not wholly dissimilar situation".
