Everything there is ugly and boring and the children don't have much else to do other than bothering the not-so-cheerful grandfather. This goes on until the grandfather summons them to his oaken study, where he informs the three little orphans that they are about to get sent to his estate in the woods. They have heard of Rosebud from their father's fairytale book, but they didn't know that he actually has an estate there.
