Parecia inquieto; em algum momento pareceu exasperado. Abriu a sacola de couro, apalpou-a por dentro, até a mão direita trêmula encontrar um cartão-postal. No rosto sério os lábios sumiram de sua boca, quem sabe um cacoete ou o gesto ansioso. Por favor, me acompanhe até essa casa, ele pediu, apontando a fotografia do cartão-postal. O tom da voz era quase de súplica; chegou a ser patético ao repetir o pedido em francês, e só não o fez em alemão porque dispensei mais salamaleques.

Soube que deixara a Bretanha havia muitos anos; seu desejo era partir em busca do desconhecido. Para ele, viajar era uma forma de viver em tempos distintos. Um dia lhe perguntei se conhecia o dialeto bretão ou uma das tantas línguas indígenas do Amazonas. Vi seu rosto branco ruborizar: um rosto sem rugas, imberbe, os olhos azulados pareciam expressar dúvida ou indagação; de repente se levantou, foi até a varanda e, de costas para o rio, disse: Emilie me confundiu com Armand Verne. Ele, sim, é u m linguista aplicado e tutor dos nativos.
