I expect they were a kind of 'purple emperor,' a butterfly that loves the tops of oak-woods, but these were not purple at all, they were a dark dark velvety black without any markings to be seen.
Supongo queeran una especie de "emperador púrpura", una mariposa aficionada a las alturasde las robledas, pero no eran nada purpúreas, sino muy oscuras, de un negroaterciopelado, sin que se les pudiese ver ninguna marca.
“The spring,” said Margaret, as she flew past the screen and down the front steps without further thought. Behind her came Gilbert, and even as the others, slow to comprehend, were searching the solar and tower rooms, they had taken two of the clerks' little saddled cobs that stood in the courtyard and were off at full gallop through the gate, past the fields and into the meadow at the edge of the oak wood.
—El manantial —exclamó Margaret mientras corría junto al biombo y bajaba los peldaños de la entrada sin pensárselo dos veces. Gilbert le pisaba los talones y mientras los demás, más lentos en asimilar la situación, buscaban en la galería y en las habitaciones de la torre, cogieron dos de las pequeñas jacas ensilladas de los actuarios, salieron a todo galope por la puerta, cruzaron el prado y se acercaron al robledo.
Sometimes I served the brawn as a first course, sometimes as the main course, but the recipe never varied. THE MASTER ALSO had much to say about the nature and virtues of sows, boars, and suckling pigs during those fast-moving two-hour sessions: we learned that where he came from they were all fattened with corn cobs but that there were also oak woods planted specially to supply them with acorns; that acorns made for firm and not overly fatty meat, but that the fat layer was not to be looked down upon, because it could be rendered in a pan into dripping and cracklings; that pig’s liver, pig’s heart, and pig’s lung could be put through a meat grinder and – like the blood during the slaughtering process – turned into sausages (‘But please, gentlemen, add marjoram!’); and that the smoking of ham and bacon was a high art.
Unas veces, se servía como entremés, otras como plato principal. Sin embargo, la receta seguía siendo la misma. Mi Maestro pudo hablar mucho aún de cerdos, verracos y lechones, y de su aprovechamiento, durante la hora doble, que rápidamente pasaba. De que en su casa se cebaba a ese animal de bellota con mazorcas de maíz, «choclo», de que en su país había robledos especiales para alimentar a los cerdos, de que la bellota daba carne firme y no demasiado grasa, de que, sin embargo, la capa de grasa del cerdo no debía despreciarse, por lo que la pella de los riñones y del vientre se derretía para hacer chicharrones, y de que con el hígado, corazón y pulmones del cerdo, pasados por la máquina de picar, se podían —como en la matanza con la sangre del cerdo— hacer salchichas —«Pero, por favooor, con mejorana»—, y de que el ahumado de tocino y jamón era un arte suprema. Cuando todos, yo también, creíamos estar ya suficientemente iniciados y saciados de palabras, dijo para terminar:
