HOMENAGEM A M. ESTEVES CARDOSO

O regresso de M. Esteves Cardoso, oportunamente comemorado por O Jansenista, traz-nos à memória a história da famosa "breach of manners" do 7º Conde de Oxford perante a grande Isabel:

"...This Earle of Oxford, making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a Fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went to Travell, 7 yeares. On his return the Queen welcomed him home, and sayd, My Lord, I had forgott the Fart..."
