Há de ver que não há nada, mas não é fora de propósito, conquanto ela sempre achasse que o doutor era um feixe de ossos... Só se ela é um cemitério, comentou rindo; e logo sério: Digo isto por gracejo...
You will see that there is nothing, but it is not out of place, although she always found that the doctor was a bundle of bones... Only if she is a cemetery, she commented laughing; and immediately serious: I say this in jest...
A character comments on someone's thinness, joking that they are a bundle of bones, and then suggests that the person might be a cemetery, but says it in jest.
A character remarks that someone will see there is nothing, but it is not inappropriate, though she always thought the doctor was very thin. She then jokes that perhaps the person is a cemetery, but quickly becomes serious and says she is only joking.
