Excerpt from Gente da Rua: Novela
O ambiente estava cheio de ameaças e' a cidade tinha O ar meditabundo e preocu pado dum homem a quem nasceu um fuf' runculo sob o colarinho. Não era graça. Gs operários em greve faziam multidão passa de duas mil cabeças, segundo O có estatístico dum industrial habituado a nego ciar em reses. E O burguês ao sair de casa encontrava Olhos machadantes, faces páhdas de miséria e ódio, que êle só se acostumara a ver barbeadas e amestradas, pacíficas, se renas. Nada, aquilo não ia bem. E, bur guês amigo, se merceeiro, deitava um' pouco mais de tremoço no café e lixo na Pimenta, se jurista, elevava um pouco mais a taxa do desconto, exactamente como os grandes bancos europeus em vésperas de confia gração.
