Viríamos aqui uma vez por ano. Se fosse em arrabalde, seria longe, onde ninguém nos fosse aborrecer. A casa, na minha opinião, não devia ser grande nem pequena, um meio-termo; plantei -lhe flores, escolhi móveis, uma sege e um oratório. Sim, havíamos de ter um oratório bonito, alto, de jacarandá, com a imagem de Nossa Senhora da Conceição.

The house, in my opinion, should not be big nor small, a middle ground; I planted it flowers, I chose furniture, a carriage and an oratory. Yes, we would have a beautiful oratory, tall, of jacaranda, with the image of Our Lady of the Conception.
