Bhí Máiréad (seanbhean) ag tabhairt ábhar tine isteach.

Mairéad was bringing in fire wood.

Nuair a tháinig sí isteach ina cistin baineadh geit aisti mar bhí strainséir ina sheasamh ann.

When she came into the kitchen, she got a fright, because there was a stranger standing there.

Dúirt an fear go raibh stoirm ag teacht agus go raibh sé ag lorg áit le fanacht.

He said there was a strom coming and he was looking for somewhere to stay

Bhí an fear ard agus láidir. Ní raibh sé néata.

The man was tall and strong. He wasn’t neat

Phioc sé suas grianghraf a bhí ar bhord beag idir an dá chathaoir uilleach agus d’fhéach sé air

He picked up a photo that was on a small table between the two armchairs and he looked at it

Bhí Máiréad ag éirí an-neirbhíseach agus thosaigh sí ag crith.

Mairéad started to get very nervous and she started to shake.

D'fhiafraigh sí de cén post a bhí aige agus dúirt sé gurbh ealaíontóir é

She asked him about his job and he said he is an artist.

Thosaigh an fear ag caint faoi ansin, ag rá go raibh aithne aige air, go raibh siad ag obair lena chéile tuairim is bliain ó shin i ngailearaí.

The man started talking then, saying that he knew her husband, that they worked together in a gallery a year ago

Dúirt Máiréad go mbeadh ocras ar Mháirtín nuair a thiocfadh sé abhaile.

Mairéad said that Mairtín will be hungry when he comes home.

Bhí ionadh ar an bhfear mar cheap sé go raibh Máiréad ina cónaí léi féin.

The man was surprised because he thought Mairéad was living alone

Dúirt an cuairteoir nach mbeadh sé in ann fanacht, cé gur thug Máiréad cuireadh dó

The visitor said he would not be able to stay, even though Máiréad invited him to stay.

D’imigh an fear amach agus chuir Máiréad an doras faoi ghlas.

The man left and Máiréad locked the door.

De ghnáth chuir Máiréad glao ar a hiníon Aisling tar éis a hocht gach oíche ach an lá seo, agus an strainséir imithe, chuir sí glaoch ag a sé

Máiréad usually phones her daughter Aisling after 8pm every night, but that night, with the stranger gone, she rang her at 6pm.
