I presented my gun at her, but, as she did not understand it, she was perfectly unconcerned at it, nor did she offer to stir away; upon which I tossed her a bit of biscuit, though by the way, I was not very free of it, for my store was not great: however, I spared her a bit, I say, and she went to it, smelled at it, and ate it, and looked (as if pleased) for more; but I thanked her, and could spare no more: so she marched off.
Sur ce je lui jetai un morceau de biscuit, bien que, certes, je n'en fusse pas fort prodigue, car ma provision n'était pas considérable. N'importe, je lui donnai ce morceau, et il s'en approcha, le flaira, le mangea, puis me regarda d'un air d'aise pour en avoir encore; mais je le remerciai, ne pouvant lui en offrir davantage; alors il se retira.
