The scene opens with a warning from the Governess to her lover, Valeria, to be careful when he tries to enter the house. The Governess warns him not to be shy or he will "make a sneak attack" when he opens the door. Valeria tells him to come out and build a snowman. She asks him why he is blushing, and he tells her that he just "skim up" on her lover. She tells him that he is her brother, and that she is not his brother, but a stinky bird. He tells her to stay and wait for the magic effect to disappear so that she won't be able to stir up trouble.
