–Pero detrás de la puerta del jardín solamente, ¿verdad? De forma que a través de las grietas o de la cerradura de esa puerta pudierais ver lo que hacia él una vez vos hubieseis partido. –Esperó un instante sin duda para asegurarse de que yo no volvería, luego salió a paso de lobo de su escondrijo, se acercó a la platabanda dando un largo rodeo, llegó por fin a su meta, es decir, frente al lugar donde la tierra aparecía recién removida, se detuvo con aire indiferente, miró hacia todos lados, interrogó cada ángulo del jardín, interrogó cada ventana de las casas vecinas, interrogó la tierra, el cielo, el aire, y creyendo que se hallaba realmente solo, fuera de la vista de todo el mundo, se precipitó sobre la platabanda, hundió sus dos manos en la tierra blanda, recogió una porción que deshizo suavemente entre sus manos para ver si el bulbo se encontraba allí, repitió tres veces el mismo manejo y cada vez con una acción más ardiente, hasta que al fin, comenzando a comprender que podía haber sido engañado con alguna superchería, calmó la agitación que le devoraba, cogió el rastrillo, igualó el terreno para dejarlo en el mismo estado en que se hallaba antes de que lo hubiera registrado y, completamente avergonzado, completamente corrido, cogió el camino de la puerta afectando el aspecto inocente de un paseante ordinario.
      "But only behind the garden door, I dare say, so that you might see through the keyhole what he was going to do when you had left?"       "He waited for a moment, very likely to make sure of my not coming back, after which he sneaked forth from his hiding-place, and approached the border by a long round-about; at last, having reached his goal, that is to say, the spot where the ground was newly turned, he stopped with a careless air, looking about in all directions, and scanning every corner of the garden, every window of the neighbouring houses, and even the sky; after which, thinking himself quite alone, quite isolated, and out of everybody's sight, he pounced upon the border, plunged both his hands into the soft soil, took a handful of the mould, which he gently frittered between his fingers to see whether the bulb was in it, and repeated the same thing twice or three times, until at last he perceived that he was outwitted. Then, keeping down the agitation which was raging in his breast, he took up the rake, smoothed the ground, so as to leave it on his retiring in the same state as he had found it, and, quite abashed and rueful, walked back to the door, affecting the unconcerned air of an ordinary visitor of the garden."
