The friar trembles

Read the full text in our reader

Seu companheiro ficou imóvel por muito tempo; depois começou a tremer como se tiritasse com o frio de terças; o polegar estendido para fazer o sinal-da-cruz, os dentes chocando uns contra os outros, o rosto contraído, davam-lhe aspecto terrível e ao mesmo tempo grotesco.

The setting

His companion stayed motionless a long while; then he began to tremble as if he shivered with a tertian chill; his thumb stretched out to make the sign of the cross, his teeth knocking against one another, his face contorted, gave him an aspect terrible and at once grotesque.
