"Capital!" cried Neb; "this is something which will rejoice friend Pencroft's heart." In fact, the heart of friend Pencroft could not fail to be rejoiced, for the flesh of the turtle, which feeds on wrack-grass, is extremely savory.
«Bon! s'écria Nab, voilà qui réjouira l'ami Pencroff!» en effet, l'ami Pencroff ne pouvait manquer d'être réjoui, car la chair de ces tortues, qui se nourrissent de zostères, est extrêmement savoureuse.
