Dona Felicidade was reading Rocambole. So many people had told her how wonderful it was! But it was so convoluted! She got lost‚ she forgot the plot … In fact‚ she was going to abandon it altogether‚ having noticed that reading seemed to exacerbate her indigestion.
‘Do you suffer much from indigestion?’ asked Bazilio out of polite interest.
Dona Felicidade launched into an account of her dyspepsia. Bazilio recommended using ice. And he congratulated her‚ because‚ lately‚ illnesses of the stomach had become positively chic. He asked after hers and requested more details.
