For three hundred yards or more around Twala's chief hut, where the sufferer lay, there was silence; for by the king's order all who lived in the habitations behind it, except Sir Henry and myself, had been removed, lest any noise should come to the sick man's ears.
Twalaren txabola nagusitik, gaixoa han bait zegoen, hirurehun yarda edo gehiagotara, isiltasuna besterik ez zen; erregeak agindu zuelako atzeko bizitokietakoak, Sir Henry eta ni ezik, handik joan zitezela, gaixoak inolako soinurik entzun ez zezan.
