I made old Souter Johnnie cover the ground as he has never done before or since, and in an hour she was seated at the supper table, where my mother had laid out not only butter, but a glass dish of gooseberry jam, which sparkled and looked fine in the candle-light.
Je fis arpenter la route à la vieille Souter Johnnie, d'une allure à laquelle elle n'a jamais marché ni avant, ni depuis. Une heure après, Edie était assise devant la table à souper.
