Giulla immediately recognized her husband's work and was greatly consoled, knowing that he was not dead. She answered this way, "Truly, I cannot deny that your bouquet is undoubtedly more beautiful than the one I gave you. But if you permit me, and bring me some roses, I can show you another bouquet tomorrow morning which is even more beautiful."
Because the old woman wanted to see anyway what the young woman was able to do, she gave her the bouquet and left, because it was already late. When Giulla was alone, she cried profusely because of the sweet bliss knowing that her husband was still alive. She immediately called her companion Achel and embraced her tightly. "Rejoice with me," she said, "because God has begun to hear our prayers."
And she told her that she had established that Feristeno was alive from the bouquet of roses that he had sent her by means of the old woman. It cannot be described how happy Achel was to hear this news. She took the bouquet in her hands and saw the letter which Feristeno had written and put in the hollow reed.
She showed it to Giulla and took the letter from the reed. They read everything that had happened to Feristeno and became fully informed about his state of mind. Giulla had now the opportunity to communicate what her situation was in the same way as he had shown her.
