mecha

EN If she finished it tonight, if they did go to the Lighthouse after all, it was to be given to the Lighthouse keeper for his little boy, who was threatened with a tuberculous hip; together with a pile of old magazines, and some tobacco, indeed whatever she could find lying about, not really wanted, but only littering the room, to give those poor fellows who must be bored to death sitting all day with nothing to do but polish the lamp and trim the wick and rake about on their scrap of garden, something to amuse them.
GL Se o remataba esta noite, caso de finalmente iren ó faro, levaríallo ó torreiro para o seu cativo, de quen se temía que padecese tuberculose de cadeira, xunta unha morea de revistas atrasadas, algo de tabaco e toda canta cousa superflua atopase ciscada pola casa, para levarlle algo co que se entretivese esa pobre xente que debía morrer de aburrimento, sentados todo o día sen nada que facer, fóra de dar brillo á lámpada, arranxa-la mecha e anciña-lo miserento xardín.
