      Óyese de repente un terrible alboroto de gritos desesperados y alarmantes en la plaza. El tumulto se hacía por momentos más grueso y aterrante; y entre las voces que el estruendo de la multitud dejaba percibir, se dejaban de cuando en cuando oír estas palabras: -¡Un chasqui! -¡Arequipa! -¡Los Herejes! -¡Francisco! y se veía un agitado pelotón de hombres blancos y negros, y niños que empujándose en masa unos a otros rodaban por la plaza hacia la casa o palacio del Virrey.
