When the Governess arrives home, she is greeted by her husband, who tells her that she is welcome to stay and eat with him. The Governess tells her not to worry, as she has two women waiting for her at home. When she asks why he is looking at her like that, he replies that she should not give him any more trouble. He tells her to eat as much watermelon as she wants, but not to give him too much trouble. She tells him not to take everything he says to heart, because if she did, she would be so angry. She asks him why he came to her house, and he says that he knew that she was not good before he set eyes on her. He asks her to tell him a secret, and she tells him that she would like to know the secret. When he asks her what she means by that, she says that she thinks he is trying to kick her out so she can sleep on the streets.
