When the maid asks if the boy has slept with her, he coughs and says that he hasn't. She tells him that he went to university to learn how to play with men, and that he learned how to do this by playing around with other boys. She says that if he doesn't break his legs, then she's not his mother. The maid tells the boy that his father is still young and that his brother is still very young. The boy says that his mother is trying to murder him, and the maid says that she is tired of living and that if her father himself were independent, the family would depend on her. The mother says that her son is busy at work and that it would be better if he came live with her instead of living with her brother. The son says that the tea is good, but the maid is not so sure. She asks him if he is really her brother, and he says no.
