As this was a time when everybody had his own life to think of, nobody minded me, or what was become of me; but another man stepped up to the pump, and thrusting me aside with his foot, let me lie, thinking I had been dead; and it was a great while before I came to myself.
Comme c'était dans un moment où chacun pensait à sa propre vie, personne ne prit garde à moi, ni à ce que j'étais devenu; seulement un autre prit ma place à la pompe, et me repoussa du pied à l'écart, pensant que j'étais mort, et ce ne fut que long-temps après que je revins à moi.
