Two days after the kidnapping, the Governess comes to visit her estranged husband. He is upset that she has been kidnapped, and she tells him that she is getting better. The Governess asks him if he thinks the kidnapping is strange, and he replies that it is. He then asks her if she had planned it, and when she says that she had, he says that he had not planned it at all, and that he has never done such a thing before. He tells her that if there is nothing else she wants, then he should go. He asks her why she wants to help him now, when he has legs and arms and no injuries, and asks if she will let him deal with the situation on his own. She tells him she still thinks of him as her "granddaughter in law," and she wonders if he will get interested when he is treated more strictly.
