In this scene, we are introduced to a young woman who has just returned from a trip to Europe. She is extremely excited to be back in her home country, but she is also extremely nervous about her upcoming trip. As she is about to leave, she is interrupted by the sound of a woman's voice, which she recognizes as the voice of a girl she has just met. The woman, who is dressed in black, explains that she has come to visit the girl because she is afraid that the girl's family will be offended by the sight of her in a black dress. The girl, however, is not afraid of her family's reaction to her appearance, and she does not want to upset them with her appearance. She tells the girl that she will not be offended if the girl does not behave in a way that pleases her, and the girl agrees to meet the girl in person.
