Em pequeno, lembra-me que ia assim muita vez com minha mãe às visitas de amizade ou de cerimônia, e à missa, se chovia. Era uma velha sege de meu pai, que ela conservou o mais que pôde.

As a child, I remember I went thus many times with my mother to visits of friendship or ceremony, and to mass, if it rained. It was an old chaise of my father, which she kept as long as she could.
