the trouble was the electric power, that sometimes failed (luckily signorina Micol had noticed and sent him straight off to see whether we'd turned up, by any chance), and the distanceover half a kilometre, no less.
Baina berak ez zuen errua, argindarrak baizik, noizean behin joaten zelako (zorionez, Micòl andereñoak, konturatu zenean, berehala bidali zuen iritsiak ote ginen ikustera), bai eta kilometro erdi luzeko distantziak ere, tamalez.
