greatness
noun
grandeza
EN Insinuating, too, as she did the greatness of man's intellect, even in its decay, the subjection of all wives -- not that she blamed the girl, and the marriage had been happy enough, she believed -- to their husband's labours, she made him feel better pleased with himself than he had done yet, and he would have liked, had they taken a cab, for example, to have paid the fare.
GL Coas súas insinuacións, que de feito fixera, sobre a grandeza do intelecto masculino, mesmo na súa decadencia, sobre o sometemento de tódalas mulleres (non é que ela culpase á rapaza, pois o matrimonio fora feliz dabondo, coidaba) ás fatigas dos seus homes, ela fixo que se sentise máis satisfeito consigo mesmo do que estivera ata daquela, e habíalle gustar, de iren nun taxi, por exemplo, pagar el o importe.
