Later than night, Trifulgas is visited by a woman claiming to be Vort Kartif's mother. He is annoyed and wishes for Kartif's daughter, wife, and mother to perish with him. The woman claims to have money, from the recent sale of their house to "camondeur Doutrup". Trifulgas asks for a payment of two-hundred , but the woman only has a hundred and twenty . Trifulgas initially turns down the offer, but changes his mind after figuring that "a small profit" is better than nothing.
