:53:02
In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
:53:06
Dear brothers, the spirit of evil
descended on your town
:53:11
because of your sins.
:53:13
The son threatened the father
:53:15
and discord overcame the city.
:53:18
But God, in His infinite mercy,
turned away the scourge.
:53:23
Let your hearts, delivered from fear,
rise up toward Jesus
:53:27
to thank Him for His special grace.
:53:48
Here's what it says:
"To the congregation:
:53:52
The wicked have rejoiced too quickly.
Marie Corbin is not the Raven.
:53:57
So I am resuming
my cleansing campaign.
:54:00
The sins of this baneful city
will be exposed
:54:04
so long as you haven't expelled
Germain the corrupter.
:54:08
Your brother in Jesus Christ,
The Raven."
:54:12
Typical blasphemy!
:54:13
No respect for religion!
:54:15
I may add that the handwriting is exactly
the same as in the previous letters.
:54:20
This clears Marie Corbin entirely.
Doesn't it, Doctor?
:54:22
- Absolutely.
- So we start over.
:54:25
But this time with one sure fact.
:54:28
The envelope fell from the gallery.
:54:29
In the gallery there were 18 people,
whom I've asked in here.
:54:35
- How dare you accuse us!
- Why not arrest us all?
:54:37
Germain's too proud to leave now.
:54:40
We protest, sir.
We protest most strongly!
:54:44
Silence! The mass isn't over.
:54:49
- Another one.
- Here's one.
:54:51
- That makes 17.
- A postcard.
:54:53
- One for general delivery.
- Everyone's at it.
:54:56
The concierge wrote one to my wife.
I slapped her one!
:54:59
- The concierge?
- No, my wife!
