Después irá al camarote, se secará con una toalla mirando el agua por el portillo, y luego, cuando se vista, Pierre Blanc le llevará el desayuno y él esperará un poco, pero, como está hambriento, comerá solo, sin mí.
Then he will go to the cabin, and rub himself dry with a towel, glancing out of the port-hole on to the water as he does so, and presently, when he has dressed, Pierre Blanc will bring breakfast, and he will wait a little, but then because he will be hungry he will eat it without me.
El cuarto Santiago apenas dejó una huella en la memoria de su bisabuela, pronunciar esa designación me llena de orgullo, satisfacción, consuelo y desconsuelo, me da miedo y me da tristeza, me convence alegremente de que he logrado, al fin, matar la vanidad -¡Soy bisabuela!- pero también que he logrado revivir a la muerte, la mía acompañando para siempre la de cada Santiago, el fusilado en Veracruz, el muerto en México, el asesinado en Tlatelolco y ahora el emigrado a Los Ángeles, mi bracerito -me voy a reír- mi espaldita mojada a la que ya nunca voy a poder secar con las toallas que mi madre Leticia me regaló cuando me casé, ¡Cómo duran ciertas cosas!…
The fourth Santiago barely left a trace in the memory of his great-grandmother. Just saying that word fills me with pride, satisfaction, consolation, and disconsolation, makes me afraid and makes me sad, convinces me in a happy way that I’ve finally managed to kill vanity—I’m a great-grandmother!—but also that I’ve managed to revive death, my own death forever accompanying that of each Santiago—the one shot in Veracruz, the one who died in Mexico City, the one murdered in Tlatelolco, and now the one who’s going to Los Angeles, my little bracero—now I’m going to laugh—my little wetback whom I’ll never get to dry with the towels my mother Leticia gave me when I married. How certain things last!
