Exploring psychological dilemmas and material issues with his characteristic irony, Machado de Assis presents an anecdote between the notary Vaz Nunes and the frustrated dreamer Custódio about a large loan request to invest in a needle factory. The clash between Custódio's insistence and Vaz Nunes' refusal reflects the wounded pride of class differences and social discomfort.
