Hello,
could someone translate the followings lines (an extract from Waterland) into plain English?
Once,before she became a lady of the town and all the other, more remarkable apparitions that fate would turn her into, she downed many a cheery draught with - her Darling husband. But now, though it has been pushed at times hopefully before her, not a drop will pass her lips. No match, perhaps for those raging inner fires.
all the other towns ?
Thanks!
