Potter deixa caure el ganivet i exclama: -Ei! No toqueu el meu lleopard!- I a l'instant següent s'havia agafat amb el doctor, i tots dos lluitaven amb maxima embranzida, afollant l'herba i esquinçant la terra amb llurs talons.
Potter dropped his knife, and exclaimed: "Here, now, don't you hit my pard!" and the next moment he had grappled with the doctor and the two were struggling with might and main, trampling the grass and tearing the ground with their heels.
