room of secrets

On the original floor of the building each comb was given a number and the legend shows what this commode refers to.

In the case of the comodes in No. 4, it reads: “the sweet secrets”, or the two secrets.

In the magazine number 11 of IPHAN, it is said that 'Secret is a house “in which people are put for serious fault for so many days, and they are going to ask you questions, and give deals to force them to confess the truth'.

To give deals [...] means to torture.” Mariana's two secrets were rooms that had a single entrance door that led to the jailer's house, without windows, where only authorized people could have access.
