'Having made which bargain, Tom,' said Harthouse, clapping him on the shoulder again, with an air which left him at liberty to infer-as he did, poor fool-that this condition was imposed upon him in mere careless good nature to lessen his sense of obligation, 'we will tear ourselves asunder until dinner-time.'
"Halako akordioa eginda, Tom" esan zuen Harthousek, berriz ere sorbaldatik oratuta gizonari, horrela Tom aske utzita pentsa zezan-eta berak hala egin zuen, zozo alaenak-kondizio hura ezarri zitzaiola izaera on eta arduragabe hutsez, bere betebeharren zentzua arintzeko, "elkarrengandik urrunduko gara afal ordura arte."
