- No principio do mez passado, — disse elle, — indo por uma rua, succedeu que um tilbury á disparada, quasi me atirou ao chão. Escapei saltando para dentro de uma loja de belchior. Nem o estrepito do cavallo e do vehiculo, nem a minha entrada fez levantar o dono do negocio, que cochilava ao fundo, sentado n'uma cadeira de abrir.
