The governess tells the boy that his mother is on her way to pick him up. She tells him that she has a visitor who came to see her. She says that she could see the girl through the window, and that it made her happy. The governess asks the girl if she could touch her, and the girl replies that she would, but that the girl was so far away that she couldn't touch her. When the governess asks if she has already seen the girl's mouth, the girl responds that she wouldn't want to say that, since she is so popular with the "no" crowd. The girl says that if she were to die, no one would be able to know that she is sad. She asks the boy not to say such things, but to remember that she once had a girl with such a face
