Ao teatro íamos juntos; só me lembra que fosse duas vezes sem ela, um benefício de ator, e uma estreia de ópera, a que ela não foi por ter adoecido, mas quis por força que eu fosse.

We went to the theater together; I only remember that there were two times without her, a benefit for an actor, and an opera premiere, to which she did not go because she had fallen ill, but she insisted that I go.
