Portuguese term or phrase: havia tiros
– Então vou me cuidar para não escapulir nenhum palavrão, fique sossegada.
Ouvi dizer que o Mangue tem um cheiro insuportável. No meu tempo a gente
punha incenso queimando para dar um ar limpo na casa. Até tinha cheiro de
igreja. E tudo era muito respeitoso e com muita religião. Quando eu era mulherdama
já ia juntando meu dinheirinho, dando porcentagem à chefa, é claro. De
vez em quando havia tiros mas nada comigo. Minha florzinha, estou te
aborrecendo com minha história? Ah, não? Você tem paciência de esperar pelas
cartas?
– Tenho, sim senhora.

De que tiros se trata? De disparos? Ou da pérdida de dinheiro?
