To punish the obstinate young girl, she locks her in the garret. Jeannette inspects her prison and notices a large trunk. She opens it, and finds the wedding garments of her grandparents. A few minutes later the girls employed on the farm, rush into the garret, Jeannette and Lucien are donning their grandparents' wedding garments, and they all descend with great precaution, preceded by a violinist in imitation of a real wedding procession. Grandmother, asleep near the fireplace, is dreaming of her younger days. She sees again her marriage, the procession passing in front of the church, while the wedding bells are ringing. She awakens, rubs her eyes, hears the music of the violin, which is playing in a low tone; she follows the movements of the music, with her head, all absorbed by the feeling of the past. Is it really a dream? She turns to find her children kneeling at her feet! Jeannette's tricks have succeeded, and grandmother consents to a union, which is the desire of everyone present.
