When the lord walks out of the house, the servants ask him how it went. He tells them that the madam finished all of the stew and that she seemed to be in a trance. He says that he has always thought the stew smelled funny and that he always fed it to her every day. When the servants emerge from the courtyard, they find that the lord is in pain. He begs them to go to the forest and help him. The servants leave, and the lord tells them not to bother the lady.
