Miss Qin comes out of her hiding place and tells the Governess that she wants to sell her servants. The Governess tells her that she can have the servants' contracts of servitude "right away" and that she is in need of a new maid. She tells Miss Quin that she has a variety of girls to choose from and that the girls are all from the merchant family. Miss Quin tells her not to worry, as she is here and will not be sold.
