Capitolo 34
elephant of an owner of neighbouring is dangling his/her foot of hind to and
fro under a tree, or turning on on straw and leaves to his/her back, a
dozen of camels you/they are lying down in a circle that makes bubbling it divulges, and
curtains are pitchy here and there to dry, as so a lot of white wings on
what the whole establishment is almost about to rise and to fly away--flights away
in "the district" that it is the correct expression for the enormous one
expanse of level that clearly melts in blue sky on the breadth
horizon-circle around.
The Collector is a man that acts. He is always in a hurry. His
numerous duties succeed so each other fast that one are never
ended in front of the neighbor it starts. A thing mysterious call "the Joint"
it comes gleaning later him, I believe, and it complete the incipient job.
The porch is full of black and fat men in clean flax that waits for
interviews. They is bankers, storekeepers and owners that have
only comes to "to pay their respects", with never so few a petition as a
corollary. The chuprassie-vultures hover him around them. Each of these
obscene birds have received a gratification from each of the clean fat
men; other the fat and clean men would not be in the porch. This importation
tax is a healthy limitation on the visit tendencies and excessive of
men rich in colour. [Many small groups of] flat of brass they filled
with walnut-trees of pistachio and candied sugar you/he/she is exposed ostentatiously
here and there; they is the offers of the visitors so called. The
English he/she calls these "carts" of offers; the natives _dali_. Them
you represent in the profuse East the visit cards of the lean west.
Even if from our tall point of observation, among the pine-trees,
the Collector seems to be of the smallest social caliber a lake,
carronade, not to be separate from some correct name; in his really
district he is an Infant of Woolwich; and a small community of
microscopicals,--doctors, engineers, inspectors of schools and
judges of assistant, look above at him as to a magnate.
