The next morning, the Governess is worried that her husband will be too tired to fall asleep, so she asks him to come and stay with her. She is surprised that he has woken up so early, but he assures her that nothing has happened. The Governess wonders why she was so surprised, and wonders if she should cross the line of communication with her husband. She tells him that she is the one who has asked him to eat with her, so he does not have to eat if he cannot. She asks him if he would like to go out for a bite, and he replies that he would, but that if they continue to stay together, they should not be doing this
