Et ici, par une bravade frénétique, je frappai fortement avec une canne que j'avais à la main juste sur la partie du briquetage derrière laquelle se tenait le cadavre de l'épouse de mon cœur ... Pendant un moment, les officiers placés sur les marches restèrent immobiles, stupéfiés par la terreur. Un instant après, une douzaine de bras robustes s'acharnaient sur le mur. Il tomba tout d'une pièce. Le corps déjà grandement délabré et souillé de sang grumelé, se tenait droit devant les yeux des spectateurs. Sur sa tête, avec la gueule rouge dilatée et l'œi1 unique flamboyant, était perchée la hideuse bête dont l'astuce m'avait induit à l'assassinat, et dont la voix révélatrice m'avait livré au bourreau (Le Chat noir).
