The scene opens with the narrator lamenting the fact that his fiancee is no longer with him. He feels that he has lost his touch with her, and that she has become too much of a burden to bear. He tells the narrator that he is sorry that he was so hasty in getting rid of her, but that he does not want more work to be caused by her.

He then asks why the narrator did not tell him the whole story of what happened with his fiancee
