Bertuccio completes his story,this time relaying his story of how he was an unseen witness to the murder of the jeweler who had come to the Caderousse tavern to possibly buy the huge stone he had been told of. Bertuccio explained how the Abbe Busoni, who had given him the jewel, helped him in his time of need and recommended he become the peronal aide to the count, who was looking for the right person he trust.
