patriarca

EN The opinions of this junto were completely controlled by Nicholas Vedder, a patriarch of the village, and landlord of the inn, at the door of which he took his seat from morning till night just moving sufficiently to avoid the sun and keep in the shade of a large tree; so that the neighbors could tell the hour by his movements as accurately as by a sun-dial.
GL As opinións desta comisión estaban totalmente controladas por Nicholas Vedder, un dos patriarcas da aldea, e propietario da taberna, na porta da cal ocupaba o seu asento dende a mañá á noite, movéndose unicamente para resgardarse do sol, e permanecer sempre á sombra dunha enorme árbore, de modo que os veciños podían saber qué hora era polos seus movementos coa mesma exactitude que se se tratase dun reloxo de sol.
