In this short scene, the Governess tries to convince Mr. Manette to let her stay with her. She tells him that they will be sharing all the responsibilities of housekeeping, cooking, cleaning, and laundry. She also tells him to tell anyone that he lives with her, and not to do anything funny with him. The Governess then shows him the room that her sister used to live in, and tells him he can use it as his own room. He asks her to call him by his first name and by his last name, and she agrees to do so
