tensar

EN She knitted with firm composure, slightly pursing her lips and, without being aware of it, so stiffened and composed the lines of her face in a habit of sternness that when her husband passed, though he was chuckling at the thought that Hume, the philosopher, grown enormously fat, had stuck in a bog, he could not help noting, as he passed, the sternness at the heart of her beauty.
GL Tecía con rexa compostura, pregando levemente os beizos e, sen decatarse, tensou e mudou as faccións da cara coa súa acostumada tristeza, de tal xeito que, cando o seu home pasou polo seu lado, malia ir rindo só coa idea de que Hume, o filósofo, engordara tanto que quedara atrancado nunha lameira, non puido deixar de observar, mentres pasaba, a tristeza que había na cerna da súa fermosura.
