The next morning, the Governess arrives at her father's house and asks him why he hasn't asked her to leave. He tells her that he's been strict with her ever since her mother's death, and that he wants her to be like her. The Governess says that she's fine with that, but she doesn't want him to leave her father. She tells her father that she wants to be close to him, and he says that he has always listened to her, but this time, he wants to make her own decision. She asks him if he can paint her lips, but he refuses to do it, saying that he can't paint his lips "act-ly." He asks her if she'd like to be his guest on the stage, and she says yes, but that she has always wanted to be a guest on his stage.
