Top particularly was enchanted with this improvement, for he had not, and never could have possessed Master Jup's skill in climbing ladders, and often it was on Neb's back, or even on that of the orang that he had been obliged to make the ascent to Granite House.
Top se mostró particularmente satisfecho de aquella mejora, porque no tenía ni podía tener la destreza de maese Jup para trepar por la escalera, y muchas veces había debido hacer la ascensión al Palacio de granito a hombros de Nab y hasta en los del orangután.
