..... to go into contortions
revirarse
EN When Madame Lebrun complained that it was so dull coming back to the city; that she saw so few people now; that even Victor, when he came up from the island for a day or two, had so much to occupy him and engage his time; then it was that the youth went into contortions on the lounge and winked mischievously at Edna.
GL Madame Lebrun queixouse do aburrida que resultaba a súa volta a cidade; da pouca xente que vía agora; e de que mesmo Victor, cando subía da illa por un ou dous días, tiña o tempo comprometido coas súas obrigas. Foi entón cando o mozo comezou a revirarse no canapé e chiscoulle a Edna un ollo con picardía.
