EN Apart from the habit of exaggeration which they had from her, and from the implication (which was true) that she asked too many people to stay, and had to lodge some in the town, she could not bear incivility to her guests, to young men in particular, who were poor as church mice, 'exceptionally able', her husband said, his great admirers, and come there for a holiday.
GL Deixando a un lado o costume da esaxeración que herdaban dela, e a imputación (atinada) de que convidaba xente de máis a quedar, e logo tiña que aloxar algúns deles na vila, ela non podía atura-la descortesía cos seus convidados, especialmente cos rapaces novos, que eran pobres coma furelos de igrexa, «extraordinariamente capacitados», dicía o seu home, os seus grandes admiradores, que viñan ata aquí de vacacións.
