A queda e o comentário

Read the full text in our reader

Várias pessoas acudiram, mas não tiveram tempo de a levantar; ela ergueu-se muito vexada, sacudiu-se, agradeceu, e enfiou pela rua próxima.— Este gosto de imitar as francesas da Rua do Ouvidor, dizia-me José Dias andando e comentando a queda, é evidentemente um erro.

Several people rushed over, but did not have time to lift her; she got up very embarrassed, shook herself, thanked, and went through the nearby street. "This liking of imitating the French women of Rua do Ouvidor," said José Dias to me, walking and commenting on the fall, "is evidently a mistake."
