The text continues with an outside description of Soapy, who shifts throughout the text from a masculine he pronoun to feminine she one: «After his death, the physician who practiced his autopsy stated that her body did not contain a
single drop of blood; his heart was the size of a
peppercorn; his lungs corroded; his intestines rotten and gangrenous; she had a
single testicle,
black as coal, and her head was full of water.»
