The next morning, the Governess goes to her room to find out how much it costs to rent the room. She asks the butler if he would like to take a seat at the foot of the stairs so that she can see how old he is. The butler says that he would rather be in the back of the room, where he can look out the window. The Governess asks him if he wants a pet, and he says no way. She tells him that she finds him amusing, and she applauds him for enduring all this time, got him, and got him to tell her the whole story.
