Tontilini, happy with his idea, shares it with his friends. They immediately play a trick on him and put the following announcement in a newspaper: "Very good young man will marry on the last day of this month, at the town hall of the 21st arrondissement, a young girl from foundlings No. 2874, he would like to know her mother to do him good." This article produces a surprising effect. While Tontolini is at town hall, four mothers-in-law show up. To escape from them, Tontolini finds no better way than to escape, he runs again.
