In Swann's mind, however, these words, meeting no opposition, settled and hardened until they assumed the indestructibility of a truth so indubitable that, if some friend happened to tell him that he had come by the same train and had not seen Odette, Swann would have been convinced that it was his friend who had made a mistake as to the day or hour, since his version did not agree with the words uttered by Odette.
Baina Swannen gogartean, ordea, hitz haiek, inolako oztoporik gainditu beharrik gabe, ezin tinkoago txertatu eta hain egia ezin duda-mudazkoaren loka-ezintasuna bereganatzen zuten non, baldin lagunen batek Swanni bera ere tren hartan etorria zela baina Odette ikusia ez zuela esan izan balio ere, Swannek erabat sinetsiko baitzukeen laguna zela egunez edo orduz nahastua, haren esanak ez baitzetozen bat Odetterenekin.
