reunión

EN From even this stronghold the unlucky Rip was at length routed by his termagant wife, who would suddenly break in upon the tranquillity of the assemblage and call the members all to naught; nor was that august personage, Nicholas Vedder himself, sacred from the daring tongue of this terrible virago, who charged him outright with encouraging her husband in habits of idleness.
GL Pero mesmo neste reducto seu, o malpocado de Rip acababa sendo derrotado pola terrible esposa, que interrompía de repente a tranquilidade da reunión para criticar a todos e cada un dos seus membros. Nin sequera un personaxe tan respectado como era o propio Nicholas Vedder estaba a salvo da lingua de víbora daquela terrible fera, que o acusaba abertamente de incitar ó seu home a andar todo o día de langrán.
