Two hours passed, during which the apes took care not to show themselves, but they were still there, and three or four times a nose or a paw was poked out at the door or windows, and was immediately saluted by a gun-shot.
Pasaron dos horas, durante las cuales los monos evitaron asomarse a las ventanas y a la puerta, continuaban allí, y por tres o cuatro veces se vio atravesar, ya un hocico, ya una pata, que fueron saludados a tiros.
