Abrumado por su carga, y rendido tras tanto esfuerzo, avanzó a trompicones, infundiéndose ánimos con la reflexión de que a cada paso que diera se acortaba la distancia entre él y Lucy, y de que habría comida bastante para todos durante el resto del viaje.
Weighed down with his burden, and weary from his exertions, he stumbled along, keeping up his heart by the reflection that every step brought him nearer to Lucy, and that he carried with him enough to ensure them food for the remainder of their journey.
