The next morning, the Governess and Miss Jessel try to figure out a way to get their dad to admit that he wants her back. The Governess says that she'll tell him that she was kidnapped by someone and that she can't see him until she tells him the whole story. She's not going to let her dad see her, she says, because she's been kidnapped. She doesn't know why she was taken away without a reason, and she wants to know why her dad would want to see her. She tells him that it's one of those "abductions" to sell women, and that's why he's going to have to confront her dad. She says that if she can get her dad to confront him, she won't be avoiding him any longer.
