He further declares: that when he met Lúcia again on the eighth of this month of December, and it was pointed out to her that the war had not ended on the day stated, nor indeed by that date, she answered that perhaps she had been mistaken, since her companion Jacinta had said that Our Lady had said, for her part, that the war would indeed end – but if the people mended their ways.
Outrossim declara: que, encontrando-se de novo com ela, Lúcia, no dia oito do corrente mês de dezembro, e sendo-lhe feita a observação de que a guerra não tinha acabado no dia designado nem tão pouco até àquela data, pela mesma foi respondido que talvez se tivesse enganado, pois que a sua companheira Jacinta dissera que Nossa Senhora havia dito por sua vez que a guerra acabaria, sim, mas se o povo se emendasse.
