The next morning, the Governess returns to the house to find that the young man has come to inspect her father's art collection. The Governess explains that she came to give him the painting, which she thinks is a gift from her sister. The painting is too close to her sister's fingers, and she tries to scold her, but she is unable to stop her sister from sculpting the painting. She wonders if the man thinks she is careless because she seems to be in love with someone else. She asks the man if she has someone else in her heart, and the man responds that she has no one else.
