buffet
 noun
 buffet
EN A buffet laden with coffee cups; an urn steamed; a woman's face shiny with exertion; two young men with the happy intelligent faces of sixth-formers; and, huddled in the background, like faces in a family album, a multitude of the old-fashioned, the dingy, the earnest and cheery features of constant readers.
GL Había un buffet preparado co servicio de café e unha cafeteira a ferver, unha muller a suar co interese que poñía na tarefa, dous mozos coa expresión intelixente e feliz dos que están no último curso e, como pano de fondo, igual que caras nun álbum de fotos de familia, a morea de rostros dos lectores empedernidos: acartonados e vellos, sinceros e contentos.
