That was a gang of changars-the women who have taken all the embankments of all the Northern railways under their charge-a flat-footed, big-bosomed, strong-limbed, blue-petticoated clan of earth-carriers, hurrying north on news of a job, and wasting no time by the road.
Changar talde bat zen, Iparreko burdinbideen lurren prestaketa bere kargu duten emakumeak, oin lau, bular handi, zango indartsu eta gona urdinekiko lur-eramaileak, Iparrerantz presaka lan baten berri jakinda, eta denbora alferrik galdu gabe bidean.
