In this chapter, we learn that the Governess is now an adult, and that she has taken care of a child. The Governess tells us that she is not suited to a leadership position because she has a heart that "pops out" if she does what she is trying to do. She says that she can guarantee that she would have nightmares if she tried to do what she was doing. She tells the children that they remind her of what she used to be when she was a child, and she asks them to call her if they still cannot figure out who she is. The children make her remember what she once was, and when she looks at them, she feels as if she no longer knows who she really is.
