I had to get up early that morning; for it was just the first flush of the lambing, and my father and I were out on the moors as soon as it was fairly light.
Ce matin-là, je m'étais levé de bonne heure, car on allait entrer en pleine période de la mise bas des agneaux. Mon père et moi, nous partions pour le pâturage dès le petit jour.
