He gave us the required assurance, and we thanked him, but he still hung about, and seemed to be dissatisfied, so we asked him if there was anything further that we could do for him; and Harris, who is of a chummy disposition, offered him a bit of bread and jam.
Egli ci diede l’assicurazione richiesta, e noi lo ringraziammo; ma continuò a gironzarci intorno, e siccome pareva poco soddisfatto, gli domandammo se potessimo fare qualche altra cosa per lui; e Harris, ch’è d’istinti ospitali, gli offerse un pezzo di pane col prosciutto.
