Tanto ao velho como ao morgado convinha apagar algum indicio que podesse envolvêl-os no mysterio d’aquellas duas mortes. Os criados não mereciam a pena d’um desforço que implicasse o desdouro de seus amos.

Both the old man and the squire needed to blot out any clue that might involve them in the mystery of those two deaths. The servants were not worth the trouble of a reprisal that touched their masters' honour.
