Zelda arrives at Mr. Wolfe's large house after they register their marriage; he introduces her as his wife and promises a tour. Mrs. Wood and the staff immediately sneer, calling Zelda a 'country bumpkin,' questioning Wolfe's judgment and insisting she stay in a guest room because they barely know each other. Servants gossip that Mr. Wolfe will grow tired of her and one orders Zelda to shower, or clean everything herself. Maid Ms. Lang prepares the bathroom, but the water is freezing; Zelda screams, shivering, and the household's cold reception remains unresolved.
