The focus quickly shifts to Amy Neville, who is depicted as both lovely and melancholic, caught in a moment of reflection as she gathers wildflowers. The poignant conversation between Amy and her mother reveals the depth of their bond and hints at Mrs. Neville's grief following the death of her husband. As the story progresses, Amy is faced with her mother's reluctance to let her go, reflecting the weight of her decision to leave for a governess position, while simultaneously revealing the hardships they both endure following their loss.
