Old Fletcher, whose conceptions of holiday-making were severe, was visible through the jasmine about his window or through the open door (whichever way you chose to look), poised delicately on a plank supported on two chairs, and whitewashing the ceiling of his front room.
Fletcher zaharra etxean zen, oso iritzi estua baitzuen opor egiteari buruz; haren leihoko jazmin artetik edo ate zabaldutik barrura begiratuz gero (batetik zein bestetik) han ikus zitekeen gizona, aurrealdeko gelako sabaia zuritzen bi aulkiren gainean ezarritako ohol batean igota.
