O ENGEITADO

A Joaquina do Espinhal tinha ido, no fim da tarde, lavar ao rio a roupa dos pequenos. Era no mez de dezembro. A agua corria por entre os choupos, fria e levemente encrespada pela brisa que soprava do norte. Joaquina do Espinhal, com as saias arregaçadas na cintura, as pernas mettidas na agua ate ao joelho, ensaboava a roupa e batia a com força sobre a pedra poida e lustrosa do lavadouro.

A Joaquina aprumou se e respondeu:

Vou levar a fornada a casa do sr. doutor.

Pois vae com Deus, vae.

Mas o rapaz deixou se ficar immovel a olhar para ella... Continue reading book >>
