2002, Frederico Ozanam Pessoa de Barros (translator), Os miseráveis, Casa da Palavra, translated from the original (1862, Victor Hugo, Les Misérables, A. Lacroix), page 118:
Quando às vezes lhe acontecia dizer, coisa que todos nós já fizemos: — Oh! se eu fosse rico! — não era jamais ao ver uma bela rapariga, como costumava fazer o avô Gillenormand, mas ao contemplar um alfarrábio.
When it sometimes happened to him to say, something we have all done: — Oh! if I were rich! — it wasn’t ever when seeing a beautiful girl, as grandfather Gillenormand used to, but when contemplating an old tome.
