"At any rate," observed Gideon Spilett, "if happily Ayrton did manage to escape, he would go directly to Granite House, for he could not know of the attempted assassination of which Herbert has been a victim, and consequently would never think of our being imprisoned in the corral."
«En tout cas, fit observer Gédéon Spilett, si, par bonheur, Ayrton parvient à se sauver, c'est à Granite-House qu'il ira directement, car il ne connaît pas la tentative d'assassinat dont Harbert a été victime, et, par conséquent, il ne peut croire que nous soyons emprisonnés au corral.
