When up, he goes to the portrait, and seems that in the daylight, the painting still has the cruel touch in it. While Dorian tries to think of a rational explanation for the change Lord Henry shows up and bangs hurriedly on the door to be let in. On opening the door, Lord Henry asks if Dorian knows that Sibyl killed herself the previous night. Dorian is stunned and convinced that he was the reason for her death. Lord Henry urges Dorian not to believe that it was his fault, and to not wallow in guilt. He adds that he thinks it was beautiful that a girl killed herself for him, the most romantic act that she could have done. Dorian feels numb, and Lord Henry asks him to come to the Opera with him tonight, and Dorian eventually agrees. When Lord Henry is gone, Dorian reflects on this act, and considers it a turning point in his life, and resolves that he shall live life to the fullest, and let the portrait age, and show his sins for him before leaving for the Opera.
