Qu'est-ce que vous en dites, monsieur Mazeroux ? Cinquante mille francs, c'est une somme. D'autant plus... Voyons, mon cher Cacérès, récapitulons. Il y a quelques années, ayant eu l'honneur de lier connaissance avec vous en Algérie, où vous étiez de passage, ayant compris d'autre part à qui j'avais affaire, je vous ai demandé s'il vous était possible de m'établir, en trois ans, avec mon nom de Perenna, une personnalité hispano-péruvienne, munie de papiers indiscutables et d'ancêtres respectables. Vous m'avez répondu: Oui. Le prix fut fixé vingt mille francs. La semaine dernière, le préfet de police m'ayant fait dire de lui communiquer mes papiers, j'allai vous voir, et j'appris de vous que vous étiez justement chargé d'une enquête sur mes origines. D'ailleurs, tout était prêt. Avec les papiers convenablement mis au point de feu Perenna, noble hispano-péruvien, vous m'aviez confectionné un état civil de tout premier ordre.
