The next morning, the Governess tells her servant that she is going to leave the house. She tells him that she has reasons for doing so, and that she will walk out of the building. The Governess asks if she allowed Rosa to make contact with her, and she says that she did not allow her to do so, but that now it is time to take the pawn out of his game. She asks him if there is any reason for him to go back, and he says that he does not know. He asks her if she has heard anything about Rosa's marriage, and when she replies that she does, he agrees to come to her.
