It was difficult to fancy that any human creature had ever passed there, but yet Top went backward and forward, not like a dog who searches at random, but like a dog being endowed with a mind, who is following up an idea.
Era, pues, difícil suponer que hubiese pasado por allí una criatura humana y, sin embargo, Top iba y venía, no como un perro que busca una pista, sino como un ser dotado de voluntad que persigue una idea.
