"He was serious, that is to say, for a worker, neither lazy, nor a drinker, nor a party animal. The movie theater is charleston (no idea what that's supposed to mean), but not the caf茅. Praised by his bosses, neither part of labor union nor of a political group. He had bought himself a bike, he saved money every week."
