    • 2010, Margarida Aritzeta, La maleta sarda:
      Algú s'havia acostat a la finestra per veure què passava, darrere un parell de finestrons s'hi veia llum, i algun valent s'havia atrevit a badar dos dits la portella, malgrat la rasca i l'aigua que queia.
      Someone had drawn near the window to see what was happening, behind a couple of shutters one saw light, and some brave soul had dared to open the wicket a couple of fingers despite the freezing cold and the water that fell.
