Back at the house, the Governess tells her son to stop looking for his sister. He's already gone to the park, where he found her treasure. The Governess warns him not to scare her, and not to smile at her, because she's "an independent entity" . She also tells him that he can just use his words and not worry about the consequences. She knows that he's trying to teach her his ways, but she doesn't know how strong his personality is. She tells him to stay away from his bed before he falls in with his "habits," which are "an addictive poison." He tells her that he wants to sleep with his father, but that his father won't let him sleep with him. He says that all kids are "afraid of fierce parents," and that he gave him a bad idea at school, which caused him trouble. He apologizes to her, but says that she just needs to trust him. They'll be "by your side" forever, he says, and they'll "be together forever" , and he says that if he'd never met her, how great would it be to meet her?
