The Governess asks the Governess why she gets so nervous whenever she's close to Si nan. She tells him that she doesn't understand the English language, and that she has to treat the cat "better in the future" . She's not sure what's wrong with the slave, but she thinks it's too absurd to treat her like a slave. She decides to ask one of her students to explain the problem, and the student who answers the question correctly answers it. She sighs of relief, and then goes off to play pool with her friend.
