My hedge was begun and carried on, I believe, about fifty yards when this thought occurred to me; so I presently stopped short, and, for the beginning, I resolved to enclose a piece of about one hundred and fifty yards in length, and one hundred yards in breadth, which, as it would maintain as many as I should have in any reasonable time, so, as my stock increased, I could add more ground to my enclosure.
Interrumpí las labores de inmediato y, para empezar, decidí cercar un terreno de unas ciento cincuenta yardas de largo por cien de ancho. Allí podía mantener, por un tiempo razonable, a los animales que capturara y, a medida que fuera aumentando el rebaño, ampliaría mi cercado.
