Chapter 37
Grenouille does everything that Druot orders. Although he has to do a lot of work, he is able to closely observe the process. He is able to use his nose to determine when the oil was heated just right or when enouhj alchohol had been mixed. He tells Druot when he should stop mixing or begin the second step. Since Grenouille acts submissive, Druot follows Grenouille's suggestions. Druot begins to let Grenouille have more control over the system. Druot is amazed that Grenouille does not use his incredible talent to make money. Druot and Madame begin to leave Grenouille more alone and Grenouille barely sees or talks to anyone.
