Well this went fairly easily for me. I hope it was written some while ago, for the thought of finding sand or blood in coffee grounds nowadays is rather off-putting!
I have two questions.
(1) The sentence around line 7 (page 3 column 1): "it was in 1727 that a ??????????? secretly carried…..". I could only get "Francisco" amongst the string of names.
(2) Is it "many many" on line 9 (page 6 column2)?
… that a Sergeant Major Francisco de Melo Palheta secretly carried … Google his name, .
Thanks Carlos. Curiously, during my googling as you suggested I was listening to radio 3 (the UK's BBC classical music station) and they were broadcasting Bach's coffee cantata!
LOL!
A wonderful coincidence! Bach didn't often write funny stuff; the Coffee Cantata is just about the only exception.
Oops. As soon as I'd posted that I realised point (2) was "more and more"!
Correct!
