      Zaśmiał się Grey, po czym z rozbrajającą swobodą wyjaśnił zebranym: – Gazety nie zabrał, bo kloca tam postawił, i tyle. Nick mógł tylko potwierdzić z przepraszającą miną. – Nie miałem takich zbytków. – Wskazał na parawan.
      Grey laughed, whereupon with disarming freedom he explained to the gathered people: "He didn't take the newspaper, because he left a log there, and that's it." Nick could only confirm with an apologetic face. "I didn't have such luxuries." He pointed at the windbreak.
