108-109. =si fuera un coco de fea=, _if she were as homely as a
hedge fence_.
116. =ella es grande=; one cannot be quite sure whether this
phrase means _she is of high station_, or _she is a grandee_. It has
not been previously stated that the family of Alto-Rey enjoys
the privileges of grandeeship. A grandee of Spain is allowed
to keep his hat on in the king's presence, if a man; if a woman,
to be seated before the queen (_tomar la almohada_).
141. =Ya, para lo que falta...=, _To be sure, there's no need of
saying more._
