excerto simples:
"«I've been thinking about what you said the other day, about finding a woman for me,» said Fermín Romero de Torres. «Perhaps you're right. In the
pensión there's a new lodger, an ex-seminarist from Seville with plenty of spirit, who brings in some impressive young ladies every now and then. I must say, the race has improved no end. I don't know how the lad manages it, because he's not much to look at; perhaps he renders them senseless with prayers. He's got the room next to mine, so I can hear everything, and, judging by the sound effects, the friar must be a real artist. Just shows what a uniform can do. Tell me, what sort of women do you like, Daniel?»
«I don't know much about them, honestly.»
«Nobody knows much about women, not even Freud, not even women themselves. But it's like electricity: you don't have to know how it works to get a shock. Come on, out with it. How do you like them? People might not agree with me, but I think a woman should have a feminine shape, something you can get your hands on. You, on the other hand, look like you might be partial to the skinny type, a point of view I fully respect, don't misunderstand me.»
«Frankly, I don't have much experience with women. None, to be precise.»
Fermín Romero de Torres looked at me carefully, intrigued by this revelation.
«I thought that what happened that night, you know, when you were beaten up...»
«If only everything hurt as little as a blow to the face...»"
