Your dog is quicker to recognise his friends than you are, sir; he pricked his ears and wagged his tail when I was at the bottom of the field, and you have your back towards me now."
Votre chien connaît ses amis plus vite que vous, monsieur. Il a dressé les oreilles et remué la queue quand je n'étais qu'au bout des champs, et vous, vous me tournez le dos maintenant encore.»
