They get married very early and the ceremony is attended by Pedro, the groom's brother, and the bride's mother. He begins to investigate in his new house and makes the first discovery (the presence of platelets in the blood of a batrachian), for whose publication he uses his wife's savings (used to purchase curtains) and what he obtained from the sale of emulsions. designed for photographic plates. Due to the university comments on this publication, Don Justo visits the couple (his wife had already done so). He reproaches him for investigating alone. He advises him to take academic exams to be able to live and research.
