Returning home, he reads his own obituary in a paper. They have found a corpse in a creek and connected it with his disappearance.

When Terence steals Mathias 50,000 Lira, and Mathias, being officially dead, can neither marry Adrienne nor denounce Terence to the police, he decides to do something about his state and travels home, just to notice that Romilde has remarried2.
