G.A. Henty: "Apa, menurutmu, "tanyanya, tertawa ketika dia berjua...

"Apa, menurutmu, "tanyanya, tertawa ketika dia berjuang di bank," bahwa aku, seorang gadis Gaulish, tidak bisa berenang? "" Aku tidak memikirkan apa-apa tentang itu, "kata Malchus," aku melihatmu mendorong masuk dan mengikuti tanpa berpikir sama sekali. "Meskipun mereka saling mengerti kata-kata satu sama lain, maknanya jelas; gadis itu meletakkan tangannya di pundaknya dan menatap wajahnya dengan jujur." Aku berterima kasih, "katanya," sama seperti jika kamu telah menyelamatkan hidupku. Anda bermaksud melakukannya, dan itu sangat baik bagi Anda, seorang kepala pasukan yang hebat, untuk membahayakan hidup Anda untuk seorang gadis Gaulish. Clotilde tidak akan pernah lupa."

--- G.A. Henty

What, did you think," she asked, laughing as he struggled up the bank, "that I, a Gaulish maiden, could not swim?" "I did not think anything about it," Malchus said; "I saw you pushed in and followed without thinking at all." Although they imperfectly understood each other's words the meaning was clear; the girl put her hand on his shoulder and looked frankly up in his face. "I thank you," she said, "just the same as if you had saved my life. You meant to do so, and it was very good of you, a great chief of this army, to hazard your life for a Gaulish maiden. Clotilde will never forget.
