Els fueteigs del senyor Dobbins eren d'alló més vigorosos, altrament; perque, encara que son cap, sota la perruca, era perfectament calb i resplendent, acabava d'arribar a la mitja edat, i no hi havia indici de feblesa en son sistema muscular.
Mr. Dobbins' lashings were very vigorous ones, too; for although he carried, under his wig, a perfectly bald and shiny head, he had only reached middle age, and there was no sign of feebleness in his muscle.
