In this short scene, we learn that the Governess has been with the family for ten years, and that she is still polite and outgoing. The Governess tells her that she treats the family as her own and not as a burden. She hopes that she will be able to treat the place as her home and not a place where she is expected to do too much. She also tells her daughter that her grades are not bad either, and she will not let this affect her studies. She tells the girl that she has prepared many dishes for the celebration of her first place in the end of semester exams. She asks the girl if she is satisfied with the results, and the girl says that she was satisfied just because she ranked first. She then asks her mother why she is so mushy. She says that this is because she and her mother have grown up and have been able to care for each other. The girl says she feels like she is left behind if she does not take care of herself, but she promises to be more serious in the future.
