    Tutti avranno notato il gusto che hanno i gatti di fermarsi a oziare tra i due battenti di una porta socchiusa. Chi non ha detto a un gatto: "Ma entra, dunque!". Vi sono uomini che, posti davanti a un avvenimento imprevisto, hanno pure la tendenza a restare indecisi tra due risoluzioni, a rischio di farsi schiacciare qualora il destino chiuda bruscamente l'avventura. I più prudenti, per quanto gatti possano essere, e proprio perché son gatti, corrono talvolta maggior rischio degli audaci.

You're getting hoarse. You're not thundering, only spluttering. It's breaking my heart.'His remarks were greeted with laughter.

Courfeyrac said later to his friends: 'I've just seen Marius's new hat and suit with Marius inside them. I suppose he was going to sit for an examination. He looked thoroughly silly.
