The Governess is pleased to find that the young man who has stolen her beer is gone. She tells him that he has caught a cold and is therefore unable to work. She asks him if he is in college, and he replies that he is. He tells her that the window is open, and she wonders why he did not turn on the lights. He asks her if she was planning to surprise him with someone else. She replies that she was not planning to do so, and that she had thrown out her spare key. He says that he knows this is what she is here for, and wonders if she wants a blind fold. She says that she has "still got the rope" from the last time they had sex, but that it leaves marks on her face. She wonders if the Governess smells different from the one she has known before, and asks if he has changed in the past few years. He answers that he feels lonely. He thinks that the man has not figured out what he is doing. He wonders if he thinks he has not noticed the marks on his face
