Little Em'ly asks her father why he looks so upset today. He tells her that it's because he's scolded her, and that he'll give her an hour to finish the letter and read it to her. He says that he has realized that his behavior was wrong, and he plans to put health at the top of his list in the future. He asks her what she thinks of her self-criticism, and she says that it lacks sincerity. She says that she's going to sleep with her daddy that night.
