The Governess tells her son that he's been sobered up and that he just fell on her like that. She tells him that she hates "home wreckers" and that she's going to take him to see her father. The father tells her that he has a dream that he is dead and she is left alone. He tells her to stop acting like a grown-up and to stop worrying about her future. He says that he remembers climbing a tree with her cousins when she was six years old and falling down and getting blood all over her face. He reminds her that dreams are "the opposite of reality" and she should stop worrying.
