We learn that the young woman from the clank family is engaged to be married to a man from the military. The young man is called back to the barracks while he is on his way back to greet her, and the woman is shocked to learn that he has been recalled to the army. The woman wonders why the messenger still has hers, but the messenger tells her that it has only two words: "guardian" and "fiancee". The messenger says that this must mean that the guardian is the fiance of the woman they are about to marry.
