[Butchers commentary] [T]his scene, with much reciprocal rubbing of that ornament, inconvenient while traveling, but necessary to existence, abounds with innuendo. [Vernes text] 
Suddenly Bell looked at the doctor with fright; then without a word, he took a handful of snow and energetically rubbed his companions face. ... Yes, Clawbonny, you were completely frostbitten; your nose was entirely white when I saw you, and without my vigorous treatment you would have lost that ornament, inconvenient while traveling, but necessary to existence. In effect, the doctors nose would soon have been frozen; with the circulation restored just in time, thanks to Bells forceful rubbing, all danger disappeared. Accept my gratitude, Bell, on condition I do the same for you.
