In this short scene, we learn that the Governess is trying to get her husband to take off his pant, but he's too scared to do so. The Governess tries to comfort him by saying that she's stretched him up enough so that he'll be able to slide in and out of the room easily. She tells him to squeeze the pant so that it squeezes harder, and then she tells him that he should stop pushing the pant too hard, because it's getting too tight.
