scold
transitive verb
berrar
EN Scolding and demonstrating (how to make a bed, how to open a window, with hands that shut and spread like a Frenchwoman's) all had folded itself quietly about her, when the girl spoke, as, after a flight through the sunshine the wings of a bird fold themselves quietly and the blue of its plumage changes from bright steel to soft purple.
GL Berrándolles e aprendéndolles (a facer unha cama, a abri-las ventás, pechando e estendendo as mans coma unha francesa), cando a rapaza falou, todo se acomodara lenemente arredor dela, igual ca cando, despois dun voo a través dos raios do sol, as ás dun paxaro se pregan suavemente e o azul da súa plumaxe muda dun aceiro relucente a un morado tenue.
