He writes a farewell letter and shoots himself, arguing that romance and corpulence cannot coexist. The tale mocks prior myths of love while condemning excessive fat as a fatal burden on devotion.

In Melbourne a Beechworth lease near the old Williams find is discussed as the owner W Bates sends the large gem to Europe for cutting. The piece, over 2 carats, could fetch £60 to £72, prompting debate on genuine diamond hunting and the ethics of diamond ground profits plus tests for identifying gems.
