desconcertar

EN Universities and people wanting him, lectures and books and their being of the highest importance --all that she did not doubt for a moment; but it was their relation, and his coming to her like that, openly, so that anyone could see, that discomposed her; for then people said he depended on her, when , they must know that of the two he was infinitely the more important, and what she gave the world, in comparison with what he gave, negligible.
GL Nin un só instante dubidaba de que as universidades e a xente estivesen pendentes del, nin de que as súas conferencias e libros tivesen a maior importancia; pero era a súa relación con ela, e que acudise a ela dun xeito tan aberto que todo o mundo se podía decatar, o que a desconcertaba; pois logo a xente dicía que dependía dela, cando deberían saber que, dos dous, el era infinitamente máis importante, e que a súa achega ó mundo era desprezable comparada coa del.
