The girl, who had been out of order, was carried by her governess to take the air about an hour's distance, or thirty miles from town. They alighted out of the coach near a small foot-path in a field, and Glumdalclitch setting down my travelling box, I went out of it to walk. There was a cow-dung in the path, and I must need try my activity by attempting to leap over it. I took a run, but unfortunately jumped short, and found myself just in the middle up to my knees. I waded through with some difficulty, and one of the footmen wiped me as clean as he could with his handkerchief, for I was filthily bemired; and my nurse confined me to my box, till we returned home; where the queen was soon informed of what had passed, and the footmen spread it about the court: so that all the mirth for some days was at my expense.
Behin neskatoa, ondoezik egon ondoren, haizea hartzera eraman zuen haurtzainak jauregitik ordu betera, hau da, hogeita hamarren bat miliara.

Behi-gorotza zegoen bidean, eta neure bizkortasuna frogatu nahi izan nuen haren gainetik salto egiten saiatuz. Abiada hartu, baina zoritxarrez salto laburregia egin nuen eta erdi-erdian sartu nintzen belaunetaraino. Pixka bat kostata irten handik, eta lekaioetariko batek ahal zuen bezain ongi garbitu ninduen bere sudur-zapiaz, nazkagarriro lardaskatuta bainengoen, eta inudeak neure kaxan sartu ninduen etxera itzuli ginen arte; han Erreginak laster izan zuen gertaturikoaren berri, eta morroiek Gortean zehar zabaldu zuten, ondorioz, hango barre-algara guztiak nire bizkarretik izan zielarik zenbait egunez.
