In this short scene, the Governess tells Henry that she mistook the boy for someone else. She apologizes for raising the boy to be like her, and she tells him that she loves him. She asks him how he died, and he tells her that he wanted to kill himself on the day he confirmed that Tommie had died. He says that even though his death was due to her, he still wanted to sleep with him every night, and that he has not given him the chance to do so since yesterday. She gives him food, grocery, and presents for the children. She says that she left all the Christmas presents they ordered for them, but that she did not tell anyone where they were. The Governess is worried about her daughter, who has disappeared without telling anyone.
