The next morning, the Governess is worried about her father's health. She is worried that he will not be able to attend his birthday party. She asks him to accompany her to the party, but he refuses, saying that he has to go to see his aunt. He tells her that he was hunted the night before, and she asks him if he needs any help. The Governess tells him that she was hunted last night, and he says that he did not need any help, but that it was a stressful conversation with him. He asks her why she is so early in the morning, and when she says that she went to see a girl on her way back, he asks her if she and he just started dating that night. She says that the two of them have known each other for a few days, and that she has not had the chance to ask him anything about their relationship. He says that his mind is "as hard to read" as ever
