The Governess lies down and tells Lockwood that she's glad he's still alive. Lockwood tells her that he thought she was joking when she told him that she was still alive, and that she should relax and eat some fruit. Lockwood says that he thinks it's a superstition that if a good thing happens, it should be kept a secret. He also says that Lockwood's grandfather taught him not to tell anyone about what happened, even if it means that the good thing will be taken away. Lockwood wonders if the Governess's hair will grow back after her recovery, and Lockwood says he'll do just that. Lockwood asks Lockwood if he knew he was dying when he fired the shot, and he says he did, because he was on the verge of death. Lockwood replies that he knew that when he took out his sword, he was showing mercy on Lockwood. He asks Lockwood to come back when Lockwood is better, so they can have a kiss.
