En veritat, el ganivet no servia per a tallar res, pero era un evident Barlow, i aquest instrument era d'una inconcebible sumptuositat; baldament la qüestió de si els nois de l'Oest havien o no arribat a imaginar que semblant arma podia segurament ser falsificada per al seu menyscabament, és un imposant misteri que mai sera resolt, tal vegada.
True, the knife would not cut anything, but it was a "sure-enough" Barlow, and there was inconceivable grandeur in that--though where the Western boys ever got the idea that such a weapon could possibly be counterfeited to its injury is an imposing mystery and will always remain so, perhaps.
