Do you remember the hunchback watchmaker who fixed your clock? The one who lived on the flat roof of this building in the little hut he built himself that looked like a doghouse? I called it the Clock House. The one who specialized in alarm clocks? Who knows, maybe you’ve forgotten him, though I can hardly believe that! Watches and hunchbacks can’t be forgotten just like that. Well, that was Estanislao Romagán. He would show me pictures of a sundial that triggered cannons at noon; of another clock that wasn't a sundial, that looked like a fountain on the outside; and of another, the Edinburgh clock, with a stairway, cars, horses, figures of women in tunics, and strange little men. You’ll scarcely believe me, but it was wonderful to hear the different noises of all the alarm clocks going off, and the clocks striking the hour a thousand times a day. My father didn’t agree.
