--«A la
baldada del número 9 le ha traído una manta de cama, y a la señá
Encarnación un aquel de franela para la reuma, y al tío Manjavacas un
ungüento en un tarro largo que lo llaman _pitofufito_... sabe, lo que le
di yo a mi niña el año pasado, lo cual no le quitó de
morírseme...».--«Ya estoy viendo a Manjavacas empeñando el tarro o
cambiándolo por gotas de aguardiente...».--«Oí que le quiere comprar el
niño a señó Pepe, y que le da treinta mil duros... y le hace
gobernaor...».--«¿Gobernaor de qué?...».

"She brought a bed blanket to the woman at Number 9, and a flannel wrap for her rheumatism to Doña Encarnación, and an ointment in a tall jar—called 'pitofufito'—to Uncle Manjavacas... you know, the same stuff I gave my little girl last year—though that didn't stop her from dying on me..." "I can just see Manjavacas hockin' the jar or tradin' it for a drop of brandy..." "I heard she wants to buy the boy from Don Pepe, and is offering him thirty thousand duros... and making him governor..." "Governor of what?..."
