In the rain, the pitter and the princess go back to the coachman's house. The pitter asks the princess why she would want to go to the back garden when it's so wet. The princess replies that she doesn't usually go out in the rain when it rains, but when it does, she likes to take a break and listen to the rain. She also asks why he would venture into the garden when the rain is so hard. He tells her that he's just trying to "blackmail" her, and that they've had a lot of "unexpected, incredible things" happen. He says that this is the "closest he has ever been" to a man, and he hopes they don't "ruin such a wonderful night" by getting into a fight. He asks her to get some sleep so that he won't be angry with her. He's worried about the meeting that's been set up for the next day, but he'll have to wait until morning to check on it.
