“Mandei arranjar tantos caixões de chumbo, quantas as caveiras que se apanhavam lá em baixo na Carrica, entre o lixo e o pedregulho. Havia sete caveiras e meia. Quero dizer, sete caveiras e uma caveirinha pequena. Metemos cada caveira em seu caixão. Depois: Que quer Vossa Excelência? Não havia outro meio! E aqui o Sr. Fernandes dirá se não acha que procedemos com habilidade. A cada caveira juntámos uma certa porção de ossos, uma porção razoável... Não havia outro meio... Nem todos os ossos se acharam. Canelas, por exemplo, faltavam! E é bem possível que as costelas de um daqueles senhores ficassem com a cabeça de outro... Mas quem podia saber? Só Deus.”
