There was a Barbary rover that had been at Eyemouth, and he was coming back in five years in a ship full of gold to make her his wife; and then there was a wandering knight who had been there also, and he had given her a ring which he said he would redeem when the time came.
Il devait revenir dans cinq ans avec un vaisseau chargé d'or pour faire d'elle sa femme. Et il y avait un chevalier errant qui lui aussi était allé à Eyemouth et il lui avait donné comme gage un anneau qu'il reprendrait à son retour, disait-il.
