Dimpois de comer dúas cuncas de caldo, deitouse na cama, sacou da faltrica do chaleque dous cigarros e unha navalla e liando un pito, púxose a fumegar polas ventas das narices, o mesmo có tren.
After eating two bowls of broth he laid down on the bed; he took two cigars and a pocketknife from the vest's pocket and, rolling a cigarette, began to throw smoke by the nostrils, not unlike a train
