In this short scene, we learn that the Governess has already met her daughter's parents in Lanzino. The Governess is now in Milan on a business trip, and she is worried about her daughter, who is on a sightseeing tour with a group of other students. She is worried that the girl will get lost, since she is smart enough to know where she is going, but she is also worried that she will be picked on by the locals. She wants to get home before nightfall, but the Governress is worried he will be harassed in the main streets of Milan if he goes out into the town center. She asks him to go to his room, where they can talk. He tells her that he is actually in the West on the same business trip as her, but he has lost his way. He asks her to take him to a nearby education center, where he can find his way back to school. She agrees, and they go off to eat some food together.
