In this short scene, the Governess searches for the scent of the vampire's scent. She finds that the scent is "varying in intensity" , indicating that the vampire is nearby. The Governess realizes that she has met a vampire for the first time in her life, and she is horrified. She wonders why the vampire seems to be in a coma and why he seems to have been playing a game with the cat. She realizes that the two are probably playing the game "in my pretend dead" . She is worried that the brat will not be able to stay at her place for a while, and so she tells him to stay for a few days.
