One night, the skeleton dreamt that he had returned to his estate. When she peeked through a window, he saw his wife sitting alone at the dinner table beside a scanty fire. The skeleton woke up screaming. 'Elle vit toujours! I speak French?' thought the skeleton.
He went to see the mermaid to share his dream with her. The skeleton told her about his plan to return home to his wife.
'I'm going to swim to shore. Once I retrieve my estate, I will live inside my wife's bedroom closet and never leave her side. I'll wait until she dies and the spell will be broken. Just as you said it would. I wonder how my wife would react to such an arrangement. Do you think she would accept a relationship with a skeleton living in her closet?'
