joke
noun
broma
EN I was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so I took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
GL Quedei perplexo e intentei falar do asunto un pouquiño máis, pero eles non quixeron; así que despedinme dorido e ofendido por se-lo obxecto do que, polo visto, era unha especie de broma pesada, e obrigado a soportalo por non estar en circunstancias de ofenderme polas afrontas de xente rica e respectable.
