Part 12
777-778. =como si lo viera, me le hacen a usted=; the subject of _viera_ is _yo_, _me_ is the untranslated "ethical dative," and _hacen_ is the indefinite third plural.
817. =las= [_bromas_] =que yo gasto=, _what my jokes are like_.
ACTO CUARTO
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._
157-158. =que no pueda yo...!= _to think I can't!_
253-254. =por agregarse notas= = _porque se agregan notas_. In Spanish, a noun may be the subject of an infinitive introduced by a preposition.
478-479. =que sacrifique su inclinación=; the change to third person is probably to be explained by Filomena's turning to speak to Don Rafael.
533-534. =Cesáreo, que vela por la familia=; the son is jointly responsible with the father for the maintenance of the family and for the conduct and honor of the individual members. When the father is incapacitated, the son naturally assumes the entire burden.
548. =a vivir por mí misma=, _to live my own life_. The phrase sounds like Ibsen. For example, Nora's words, "I have just as sacred duties toward myself." (_A Doll's House_, last scene.)
ACTO QUINTO
21-23. =querían... valiéranse=; this combination of tenses is unusual. We do not have here a contrary to fact condition, as might at first appear. If that were the case, the imperfect indicative could not be employed in the if-clause. This is a simple condition in past time, the irregularity being in the use of =valiéranse=, an archaic way of expressing a sort of imperative,--_debieron valerse_, or _válganse_. Translate, _since they wished... they should have employed_.
23. =valiéranse de otros de mi oficio=; earlier in his life Galdós was inclined to deal harshly with members of the priesthood of the type to which he alludes here, but the agreeable figure of Don Rafael reveals the writer's growing sympathy for the clergy.
88-89. =la que se le viene encima=, _what he's in for_; _la_ is the neuter feminine; see note to II, 86.
265. =que=, _and_. See Ramsey, _Text-book of Modern Spanish_, § 1421.
314. =Yo soy estoico, y no temo ningún castigo.= The philosophy of stoicism is especially attractive to Galdós, and he plays with it in several of his works. Thus, Orozco, of _Realidad_, strives to attain stoic perfection; and the chief characters of other plays sometimes act like stoics (Paternoy, _Los condenados_, II, 14; Pantoja, _Electra_, IV, 10; Berenguer, _La fiera_, III, 5). That the stoicism of Seneca (a Spaniard) is the fundamental trait of Spanish character, is the contention brilliantly set forth by Ángel Ganivet in the first dozen pages of his _Idearium español_.
325. =un arma=; the feminine indefinite article is by some writers changed to _un_ under the same conditions in which _la_ becomes _el_. Cf. =un hacha= in line 333.
338. =la razón que me asiste=, _the right which is on my side_.
