welter
 noun
 morea
EN He was anxious for the sake of this friendship and perhaps too in order to clear himself in his own mind from the imputation of having dried and shrunk --for Ramsay lived in a welter of children, whereas Bankes was childless and a widower-- he was anxious that Lily Briscoe should not disparage Ramsay (a great man in his own way) yet should understand how things stood between them.
GL Preocupáballe aquela amizade e quizais tamén xustificarse ante si mesmo da acusación de que el mirrara e quedara enxoito (xa que Ramsay vivía arrodeado dunha morea de fillos, mentres que Bankes quedara viúvo e sen fillos); preocupáballe que Lily Briscoe menosprezase a Ramsay (un gran home á súa maneira) pero debía comprender como andaban as cousas entre eles.
