The Governess and the Governess discuss their love for one another, and she asks him if he is in love with her. He replies that he is, but that he does not want to refuse because he is afraid that he will not be able to live without her now. He asks her what her parents think of her hanging out with the foxes, and he tells her that his grandfather does not approve of it, as it is interfering with the natural reproduction of the fox. He does not think it is a good idea, however, because he was taught to not associate with foxes as a child. He says that he cannot imagine that he would associate with a fox, as he is old enough to do so, and his grandfather is sensitive about preserving the species. He probably does not suspect anything, since he did not imagine in his dreams that he'd associate with the fox
