Odette narrated this episode almost as if it were a joke, either because it appeared to her to be quite natural, or because she thought that she was thereby minimising its importance, or else so as not to appear ashamed.
Odettek hura dena ia barrez kontatu zuen, dela naturala iruditzen zitzaiolako, dela horrela garrantzia leuntzen ziola uste zuelako, dela bere burua apalarazi nahi ez zuelako.
