When the Governess arrives at the castle, she is greeted by her servant, grey, who tells her that he has come to see her. He invites her to have tea with him and to try some cakes he has made for her. The Governess is impressed by the cakes, which she has made herself. She wonders why she has such an "anthomaniac" look, and wonders if she got the thing for herself just because she did her favor. She tells him that she will visit him again when she is sure that he will be able to return to the town. When she finds out that he is drunk, she asks him if he has anything on his mind. He says that he just wants to drink. She asks him why he came to the castle so soon, and he says that it is a pity that he did not find it before
