When I showed my aunt the latest question from the governess, she too could see that the latter was trying to force me to make up my mind about something, why it was this particular idea, that part was unknown to my aunt.

When she had read the part which I wanted her to, she asked me why the governess wanted me to do such a thing as what was mentioned in the letter. I didn't think it wise to tell my aunt the truth just yet, so I told her that the governess was probably asking such a thing, in light of the fact that my aunt was not as young as what she had been, that made my aunt think that such an idea was okay, just not right now.

When I asked her if there was any way to solve this problem, on a different level than what I could, she said that she would do what she could, when I wrote the next letter, to tend to the obvious task at hand, getting the governess to ease up on trying to come between my aunt and I.
