Veio com o « caldinho» diminuitivo que a rhetorica d’uma linguagem meiga approva; mas contra o qual protestava a larga e funda malga branca, a par da travessa com meia gallinha loira de gorda.

She came with the “little broth”—a diminutive the rhetoric of a fond speech approves; but against which protested the broad, deep white bowl, beside the platter with half a plump golden hen.
