He nursed his bitten wrist tenderly. "Look at my laig!" babbled the Signor. "It is a sacred bite, an' all-a da trouser tore. What da hell you fool wid da dog for, you big fool?"
He stuffed them into his coat pockets, into his trouser pockets. He dropped them. He dropped the pennies and sixpences which he tried to count into the tray with shaking fingers. He was drunk and reckless with his despairing love. The sales-boy winked at everyone in general. "Takin' it 'ard, ain't 'e, the young dawg?" People smiled tolerantly.

He climbed down among them, and they followed him across the grass, catching at his trouser legs and yeeking happily. "Not so long." Rainsford looked at his watch. "Good Lord, three and half hours is all. Well, the time passed quickly. You know, your little fellows have good ears. They heard you coming a long time before I did."
