Wilson stood in the position from which he had derived his nickname, his left hand and left foot well to the front, his body sloped very far back from his loins, and his guard thrown across his chest, but held well forward in a way which made him exceedingly hard to get at.
Wilson se tenait dans la position qui lui avait valu son surnom, sa main et son pied gauche bien en avant, son corps penché très en arrière de ses reins, sa garde placée en travers de sa poitrine, mais tenue assez en avant pour qu'il fût extrêmement difficile daller au-delà.
