Una noche de invierno anunciaba las nueve en un reloj muy alto de madera, que crecía como un árbol a la hora de acostarse; por entre las rendijas de las ventanas pesadas de cortinas, siempre con olor a naftalina, entraban chiflones helados que movían la sombra tropical de una planta en forma de palmera. La calle estaba llena de vendedores de diarios y de frutas, tristes como despedidas en la noche.
