Despite the fact that surely no more than a couple of persons entered Senor Zurro's shop throughout the livelong day and spent no more than a couple of reales, the second-hand dealer thrived. He lived with his daughter Encarna, a coarse specimen of some twenty-five years, exceedingly vulgar and the personification of insolence, who went walking with her father on Sundays, bedecked with jewelry.
"Reckoning principal and interest, to a million pounds sterling." "And is that much?" "Without allowing for exchange, about one hundred million reales; allowing for exchange, a hundred and thirty."
