It was too bright and sunny on this especial morning for George's blood- curdling readings about "Bar. falling," "atmospheric disturbance, passing in an oblique line over Southern Europe," and "pressure increasing," to very much upset us: and so, finding that he could not make us wretched, and was only wasting his time, he sneaked the cigarette that I had carefully rolled up for myself, and went.
Il faisait un trop beau soleil ce matin-la pour que George put nous contrarier avec ses sinistres « barometre en baisse », « pression en hausse » et autres « perturbations atmosphériques se dirigeant vers le Sud de l’Europe ». Aussi, a la vue de nos mines impassibles, et constatant qu’il perdrait son temps, il me chipa la cigarette que je venais de rouler avec soin, et s’en alla.
