The Governess tells us that she hasn't seen Mr. Manette in a while, and that she's worried that he's doing something shady with her money. She's also worried about him being a "mess sage" , which is a fancy term for a teacher who doesn't teach well. She says that whenever she calls on him, he refuses to pick up the phone, and she should've turned him away when he offered it. She also says that she relied on him because he was "mixed up" in her money, and so she shouldn't have turned him down.
