Where the text names them
از بس که دایه‌ام از خانه‌اش از عروسش و پسرش برایم حرف زده بود، مرا هم با کیفهای شهوتی خودش شریک کرده بود.
My nurse had spoken to me so much about her house, her daughter-in-law and her son that she had made me a participant in her own sensual pleasures.
شنیدم به عروسش گفت: «همه‌مون دل‌ضعفه شدیم؛ کاشکی خدا بکشدش راحتش کنه.»
I heard her say to her daughter-in-law, “We have all grown faint at heart; if only God would kill him and put him at ease.”
بعلاوه او از ناخوشی من سوء استفاده می‌کرد و همهٔ درد دلهای خانوادگی، تفریحات، جنگ و جدالها و روح سادهٔ موذی و گدامنش خودش را برای من شرح می‌داد و دل پری که از عروسش داشت مثل اینکه هووی اوست و از عشق و شهوت پسرش نسبت به او دزدیده بود، با چه کینه‌ای نقل می‌کرد!
Besides, she took advantage of my illness and related to me all her family grievances, amusements, quarrels, and her own simple, spiteful, beggarly spirit; and with what rancor she related her resentment toward her daughter-in-law, as though the woman were her co-wife and had stolen from her the love and desire of her son!
باید عروسش خوشگل باشد! من از دریچهٔ رو به حیاط او را دیده‌ام، چشمهای میشی، موی بور و دماغ کوچک قلمی داشت.
Her daughter-in-law must be pretty! I had seen her through the window facing the courtyard; she had hazel eyes, fair hair, and a small, slender nose.
