The scene opens with the young master of the house lamenting that he is late for work because he has just met his new suitor, a man who seems to know him very well. The young master asks the man why he is staring at him, and the man replies that he was looking at the young lady in front of him. He then kisses the young man to show that he did not mean to look at him. The two young men discuss the fact that the suitor is his brother, and that he has come to see the young woman in order to make his acquaintance with her.
