I sought the key of the side-door in the kitchen; I sought, too, a phial of oil and a feather; I oiled the key and the lock. I got some water, I got some bread: for perhaps I should have to walk far; and my strength, sorely shaken of late, must not break down. All this I did without one sound.
Cercai in cucina la chiave della porta laterale e una boccetta d'olio e una penna; unsi la chiave e la serratura, presi dell'acqua e del pane, perché forse dovevo camminar molto e volevo che le forze mi bastassero.
