Our 'guests' were practically limited to M. Swann, who, apart from a few passing strangers, was almost the only person who ever came to the house at Combray, sometimes to a neighbourly dinner (but less frequently since his unfortunate marriage, as my family did not care to receive his wife) and sometimes after dinner, uninvited.
Gonbidatu jende hura, normalean, M. Swann izan ohi zen, ez beste inor, huraxe izaki, bidenabarreko arrotz bat edo beste kenduta, Combrayn gurera etortzen zèn pertsona bakarra, batzuetan auzokide gisa afaltzera (lehen baino bakanago, nolanahi ere, ezkontza oker hura egina zuenez geroztik nire gurasoek ez baitzuten haren emaztea atotsi nahi), eta beste batzuetan afalondoan, ustekabean.
