The Governess is worried that the horse is being disobedient. She tells the young master that since he tamed the horse, he will now accompany the Governess to school every day. She also tells him that if he still wants his pocket watch, he should agree to it, since the snake's venom is not lethal. She asks him what the reason was for going to school with Hill, and he tells her that it was because he had a romantic affair with her.
