There was another tree and a little thicket beyond it, about fifty yards nearer to them than the place where I was, which, by going a little way about, I saw I might come at undiscovered, and that then I should be within half a shot of them; so I withheld my passion, though I was indeed enraged to the highest degree; and going back about twenty paces, I got behind some bushes, which held all the way till I came to the other tree, and then came to a little rising ground, which gave me a full view of them at the distance of about eighty yards.
Me di cuenta de que, si me desplazaba un poco, podría acercarme sin ser descubierto y, desde allí, estaría tan solo a medio tiro de fusil de ellos. Contuve mi cólera, aunque estaba indignado en sumo grado y, retrocediendo como veinte pasos, caminé detrás de unos arbustos, que se extendían todo el camino, hasta que llegué al otro árbol.
