Vestia de luto pela mãe; eu também estava de preto. Sentamo-nos.— Papai não faz diferença dos últimos retratos, disse-me ele. A voz era a mesma de Escobar, o sotaque era afrancesado.

He was wearing mourning for his mother; I was also in black. We sat down. "Dad makes no difference from the last portraits," he said to me. The voice was the same as Escobar's, the accent was Frenchified.
