At dinnertime, the Governess says that she and her husband are going to have to eat with them. The Governess asks her husband if it's right to hold such a grudge against her parents. He says that it isn't right to do so, since he's worked so hard to get the family together. He tells her that they treat her like a daughter-in-law, but they don't treat him like a son because he doesn't have one. She tells him that if she has a baby boy, she'll marry a handsome man and bring the baby into the family, but if she's pregnant, she won't be able to do that. He asks her to wait and see, and then he'll tell her what to do.
