The wind has gotten too strong, and it's time for winter to set in. The narrator tells us that the wind will soon blow the story to a halt. He's not sure who drew the picture, but he's sure that the townspeople don't want to hear about it. He tells them that they're building a grand house, just like the one in the drawing, and they'll work on it together. He says that the forest is dense with trees, so it'll be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They'll have to chop down the trees to make room for the house, but they've got plenty of trees in the forest, so they should be able to finish the house by the time winter rolls around. He also tells her that the lumber business is owned by his father, who lets him do whatever he wants with the lumber. He doesn't worry about the townspeople finding out that he is helping them build a house, because his father is the only person in the world who owns a lumber business, and he'll let him do what he wants. He asks her to tell him a secret, and she says that she did it in a whisper to the first settlers in the area. She says that when she's healed, she'll tell everyone the name of the place, and everyone will know who she is.
