Always in shirt sleeves, without Sunday or holiday, not missing
any occasion to steal other
people's property, not paying
his dues when possible, but always receiving what was owed him,
deceiving customers, stealing with a doctored scale,
enduring privation over privation, João Romão ended
up
buying a good portion of the stone quarry he coveted. By
Aluísio de Azevedo
