The official residence of the matron is located in a very secluded and secretive environment. On the veranda of that house, three male friends of the matron sat freely, drinking strong liquor. With the matron's full support, they attempted to extract maximum freedom and pleasure from the cold mountain climate. Irene and two other senior girls from the girls' home were hurriedly washing dishes and preparing food in the matron's kitchen. An elderly woman was also there to help them. The matron suddenly entered the kitchen in a rush.

"Come, Dilani, come to the veranda...... I'll introduce you to my three friends." (The matron, who always showed special attention to Dilani, spoke with even more kindness than usual that day.)
