The Governess tells the children that she has just performed a minor surgical operation on the Governess and that she will be back to her normal self in three days. She tells them that she is working on a new medical technique that will allow her to treat her patients more effectively. She also tells them she has been thinking of sending someone to help victims of a plague that has struck an area in which she has heard of a large number of people who have died. She asks the children if they will be able to finish the speech in two days. The children tell her that they are not able to do so, as they have to record the speech. She says that she wants to live her life in a feudal system and that the men do not listen to her kind of talk.
