But I'd hardly had time to sit down at a table in the reading room and take what I needed out of my brief-case, before one of the employees, a fat jolly fellow of about sixty, called Poledrelli, famous for the amount of pasta he could put away and unable to string two words together except in dialect, came up to tell me to leave at once.
Bada, kontsulta-gelako mahai batean eseri eta behar nuen guztia atera bezain azkar, enplegatuetako bat, halako Poledrelli bat, hirurogei urte inguruko tipoa, lodia, alaitsua, pastajale ospetsua eta dialektoz ez bazen bi hitz segidan esateko gauza ez zena, hurbildu egin zitzaidan berehala alde egin nezala esatera.
