The next morning, the Governess wakes up in the middle of the night to find herself in a dream. The Governess's face is burning and she can't believe what she's seeing. She's sure that it's the porridge that's warming her body. The porridge must be the cause of the dream, because she can hear the man's breath coming close to her. She can feel his kiss on her nose, and she knows that it was the kiss that made her fall in love with him in the first place.
