The Governess is worried about her husband's health. She tells him to calm down first. He's always calm and collected, she says. She says she's never seen him panic so much in her life. She's going to get him some rest, she tells him, since he's been working so hard the last two days. She asks him to stretch out the chestnuts so they'll be easier to open. She also asks him if he knows how to cook. He says he doesn't, because his kitchen is "too fancy" for the country bumpkin. He wants to have a "manchu . . han feast" . He asks if he can have a bath in the master bathroom, and she says yes. He tells her to forget about the reason why she rushed him back to the Governess's house, and he promises to eat after she has a bath and a good meal
