la evocacion de delibes
link text de verdad no entiendo lo que el escritor quiere decir!
evocaba, sobre todo, sintiendo un escalofrío, la reacción de su padre ante la desgracia ingente, apenas resarcida por la mejoría del animal:
– Menos mal que hemos salvado la vaca.
resarcida! aqui no tiene sentido para mi!

It invoked (in him) above all, a chilling of the spine, the reaction of his father before the great misfortune (the death of his mother), scarcely redeemed by the improvement of the animal (the sick cow got better that same day that his mother died)
"At least we saved the cow" (this is what his father said). Understandably, Lucas was pretty upset by the courseness of his father, un hombre 'hosco y desabrido'.
The above is an English translation / explanation. It doesn't translate literally into English.
