demora
EN Ichabod, whose fears increased with the delay, jerked the reins on the other side, and kicked lustily with the contrary foot: it was all in vain; his steed started, it is true, but it was only to plunge to the opposite side of the road into a thicket of brambles and alder bushes.
GL Ichabod, que sentía un temor aínda maior debido a esta demora, tirou das rendas cara ó outro lado e golpeouno con forza co pé contrario, pero de nada serviu. O corcel avanzou, si, pero só para precipitarse cara ó outro lado do camiño, contra unhas matogueiras de silvas e uns amieiros.
