And as Perotti had been in bed all day with a slight temperature (just a touch of bronchitis: but he was being looked after, to avoid any possible infection, apart from everything else...) for once in a while he'd taken on the job of watchman. You couldn't rely on Alberto, who was always so absent-minded, so distracted, so much in the clouds, as we all knew.
Eta Perottik goizetik sukar piska bat zeukanez (bronkitis txiki bat zen, baina sendatu egin behar zen, kutsapenik gertatuko ez bazen), eta Albertorekin kontatzerik ez zegoenez beti bezala hodeietan egoten zelako, gogoa beste zerbaitetan zuela eta ezeri kontu egin gabe, berak hartu zuen bere gain "goardian egoteko" lana.
