In this short scene, we learn that the young woman we met earlier in the story is the same woman we saw in the previous scene. We learn that she has come to the rescue of her mistress, and that she wants to be adopted by her father. We also learn that her father is not willing to adopt the child, because he does not want to be associated with the child's father. The young woman, however, is determined to make her father happy, and she has signed up to participate in a drawing competition.
