agasallo

EN His hands clasped themselves over his capacious paunch, his eyes blinked, as if he would have liked to reply kindly to these blandishments (she was seductive but a little nervous) but could not, sunk as he was in a grey-green somnolence which embraced them all, without need of words, in a vast and benevolent lethargy of well-wishing; all the house; all the world; all the people in it, for he had slipped into his glass at lunch a few drops of something, which accounted, the children thought, for the vivid streak of canary-yellow in moustache and beard that were otherwise milk-white.
GL As súas mans entrelazáronse sobre o bandullo xeneroso, os seus ollos pestanexaron, coma se quixese agradecer estes agasallos (estaba seductora aínda que un chisco inqueda) pero non podía, mergullado como estaba nunha somnolencia dun verde cincento que os abranguía a todos eles, sen necesidade de palabras, nun benevolente letargo largacío e indulxente: toda a casa, todo o mundo, toda a súa xente; pois no xantar botara no vaso unhas pingas de algo, o que explicaba, pensaban os nenos, aquela mancha dunha intensa cor amarela no bigote e na barba, que polo resto eran brancos coma o leite.
