Chalaça

And behind the door of one of the closets there was a drawing in red pencil of a bearded man in a Roman dress with a brick in each hand and underneath was the name of the drawing:
  Balbus was building a wall.
  Some fellows had drawn it there for cod. It had a funny face but it was very like a man with a beard. And on the wall of another closet there was written in backhand in beautiful writing:
  Julius Cæsar wrote The Calico Belly.
