La Sarriette, Madame Lecœur and Mademoiselle Saget poke around in Gavard's rooms until they find ten thousand francs in the cupboard. As soon as they locate the money, which was their aim all along, Madame Lecœur and La Sarriette divide the ten thousand francs between the two of them. Mademoiselle Saget and Madame Léonce receive fifty francs apiece. Madame Léonce begrudgingly accepts the money, complaining that fifty francs is a paltry sum considering all the time and effort she put into taking care of Gavard while he lived in her building.
