Igualmente se objetará, aunque con menos pretensión especulativa, que, habiendo estado mil agentes de la policía buscando a la muerte durante semanas, pasando el país entero, casa por casa, con peine fino, como si de un piojo esquivo y hábil en sortear obstáculos se tratara, y no habiéndola visto ni olido, es obvio que si hasta el momento en que nos encontramos no nos ha sido dada ninguna explicación de cómo las cartas llegan al correo, menos aún se nos dirá por qué misteriosos canales ahora le ha llegado a las manos la carta devuelta.
