      La tarda és una altra cosa: es deixaran caure al cafè, als republicans o a Cal Tomàs; faran la manilla o potser un tuti subhastat; i cap al tard faran rotlle amb els menestrals que parlen de guanyar les eleccions al voltant de l'estufa de llenya la qual, en obrir-la per posar-hi un tac, esbandirà una nuvolada de fum per la sala que arrencarà una tossiguera unànime en els comensals.
