peer agreement (net): -1Secretivley they wish that she would at least... Explanation: Secretively they wish (or--In their hearts they wish) that at least she mutated (or: transformed) back into a helpless child when visitors arrive (at their home) and as such they treat her, too. It's an awkward sentence to translate as the original is not very good German. I suggest something like the above translation. I guess, you have to do a little bit of literary refinement here to make sense out of it. Good luck. |
