goodwife
noun
Masc: goodman |
comadre
EN If he could at any rate have conceived lifting the veil from his image at some moment of the past (what had he done, after all, if not lift it to her?) so to do this to-day, to talk to people at large of the Jungle cleared and confide to them that he now felt it as safe, would have been not only to see them listen as to a goodwife's tale, but really to hear himself tell one.
GL Aínda que, en calquera caso, puidese concibir alza-lo veo do seu segredo nalgún momento do pasado (¿que fixera, despois de todo, senón alzalo para ela?) , facer iso hoxe, falarlle á xente en xeral da xungla despexada e confiarlle que agora sentía que estaba seguro, significaría non só velos escoitar coma se oísen contos de comadres, senón tamén escoitarse a si mesmo contar un.
