In Part 2, William's growing affection for Frances Henri, a student-teacher at Mademoiselle Reuter's school, is thwarted when Reuter, envious of their bond, dismisses Frances and conceals her whereabouts. After an extensive search, William reunites with Frances in a cemetery, leading to their engagement. He secures a new teaching position, and together they establish their own school, achieving financial stability. Eventually, they relocate to the English countryside, where they raise their son, Victor, in a contented and prosperous environment.
