A shaven space of lawn one soft May evening, the wellremembered grove of lilacs at Roundtown, purple and white, fragrant slender spectators of the game but with much real interest in the pellets as they run slowly forward over the sward or collide and stop, one by its fellow, with a brief alert shock.
Maiatzeko arrats epel batez, belar ebaki berriko belardi bat, gogoan ondo gordetako Roundtowngo lila-zuhaizti ubel eta zuria, jokoaren ikusle usaintsu lirainak, baina benetako ardura handia jarriak belardian pirritaka joan edo talka eginda gelditzen diren boletan, bakoitza bere lagunaren ondoan, alerta-astindu labur bat harturik.
