Summary of Pages: 71 ” 80 – (Fahrenheit 451) – Montag and Mildred spend the afternoon reading. The mechanical hound comes to their house and sniffs at the door. Mildred expresses her discontent when Montag talks about Clarissa because she is dead; furthermore she goes on to say she prefers the pretty colours, people and family of the T. V parlor to books.

Montag realizes the book he possesses could be the last copy of the Bible, therefore considers submitting a substitute but realizes if Beatty knew which book he took, consequently Beatty would think he possessed a whole library. Subsequently, Montag decides to create a duplicate and before he leaves to Faberfs he yet again tries to correlate with Mildred only to be dismissed by her un intrest.

Montag leaves the subway at the next stop not only evading the guard but to visit Faber and show him the book which diminishes Faberfs fear of him.
