There was another tree and a little thicket beyond it, about fifty yards nearer to them than the place where I was, which, by going a little way about, I saw I might come at undiscovered, and that then I should be within half a shot of them; so I withheld my passion, though I was indeed enraged to the highest degree; and going back about twenty paces, I got behind some bushes, which held all the way till I came to the other tree, and then came to a little rising ground, which gave me a full view of them at the distance of about eighty yards.
Je vis qu'en faisant un petit détour je pourrais y parvenir sans être découvert, et qu'alors je n'en serais plus qu'à demi-portée de fusil. Je retins donc ma colère, quoique vraiment je fusse outré au plus haut degré, et, rebroussant d'environ trente pas, je marchai derrière quelques buissons qui couvraient tout le chemin, jusqu'à ce que je fusse arrivé vers l'autre arbre.
