Às vezes, eu contava a Capitu a história da cidade, outras dava -lhe notícias de astronomia; notícias de amador que ela escutava atenta e curiosa, nem sempre tanto que não cochilasse um pouco.

Sometimes I told Capitu the story of the city, other times I gave her news of astronomy; amateur news that she listened to, attentive and curious, not always so much that she didn't doze off a little.
