It's now noon, and the two of them are in the middle of a conversation about how nice it is to meet each other. They're talking about the fact that they're both in love, and that their father is coming over to visit. The teacher tells the girl to tell her father that she's living with him, because he's going to be mad at her for living with someone who's not his own son-in-law. The girl faints, and her father comes over to check on her. He's worried about her health, and he comes by to look after her. The young woman tells him that she loves him, too, because she thinks that he is a good teacher. He tells her that his daughter is very obedient, and she gives her extra special attention whenever she comes home from school. He also tells her about how he'd like to know her sister's father, because it would be nice to meet their father. He says that he started taking lessons in English, but that he can't really express his love for his daughter in the language, because her accent is too strong. He adds that he would love to see his daughter and her hard-working, earnest nature, and how she'd always come home crying from school, crying because she didn't know what to do with herself. He doesn't want to lose to her, he says. He wants to be married, so he and the girl are going to stay in school together for a while.
