stead
 noun
..... in something's stead
 no canto de
EN Lily Briscoe had looked up at last, and there was Mrs Ramsay, unwitting entirely what had caused her laughter, still presiding, but now with every trace of wilfulness abolished, and in its stead, something clear as the space which the clouds at last uncover --the little space of sky which sleeps beside the moon.
GL Ó cabo, Lily Briscoe ergueu a mirada e alí estaba a señora Ramsay, completamente ignorante do motivo da súa risa, presidindo aínda, pero eliminada agora calquera pegada de teimosía e, no canto dela, unha especie de claridade, coma o espacio que as nubes acaban deixando ó descuberto: o espacio pequeno de ceo que dorme a carón da lúa.
