Teehee Police Superintendent Otyumailov is walking across the market square wearing a new overcoat and carrying a parcel under his arm.
4
A red -haired policeman strides after him with a sieve full of confiscated gooseberries in his hands.
5
There is silence all around.
6
Not a soul in the square.
7
The open doors of the shops and taverns look out upon God's world disconsolately, like hungry mouths, there is not even a beggar near them.
8
So you bite, you damned brute?
9
Ochu Myalov hears suddenly.
10
Lads, don't let him go.
11
Biting is prohibited nowadays.
12
There is the sound of a dog yelping.
13
Ochu Myalov looks in the direction of the sound and sees a dog, hopping on three legs and looking about her,
14
run out of Pichigan's timber yard.
15
A man in a starched cotton shirt, with his waistcoat unbuttoned, is chasing her.
16
He runs after her, and throwing his body forward falls down and seizes the dog by her hind legs.
17
Once more there is a yelping and a shout of don't let go.
18
Sleepy countenances are protruded from the shops, and soon a crowd, which seems to have sprung out of the earth, is gathered round the timber yard.

It looks like a row, your honour, says the policeman.
20
Otumailov makes a half turn to the left and strides towards the crowd.
21
He sees the aforementioned man in the unbuttoned waistcoat standing close by the gate of the timber yard,
22
holding his right hand in the air and displaying a bleeding finger to the crowd.
23
On his half -drunken face there is plainly written, I'll pay you out, you rogue.
24
And indeed the very finger has the look of a flag of victory.
25
In this man Otumailov recognizes Friakin, the goldsmith.
26
The culprit who has caused the sensation, a white borsoi puppy with a sharp muzzle and a yellow patch on her back,
27
is sitting on the ground with her forepaws outstretched in the middle of the crowd, trembling all over.
28
There is an expression of misery and terror in her tearful eyes.
29
What's it all about?
30
Otsumailov inquires, pushing his way through the crowd.
31
What are you here for?
32
Why are you waving your finger?

Who was it shouted?

I was walking along here, not interfering with anyone, your honor.
35
Hryakin begins, coughing into his fist.
36
I was talking about firewood to Maitrey Mitrich, when this low brute for no rhyme or reason bit my finger.
37
You must excuse me, I am a working man.
38
Mine is fine work.
39
I must have damages, for I shan't be able to use this finger for a week, maybe.
40
It's not even the law, your honor, that one should put up with it from a beast.
41
If everyone is going to be bitten, life won't be worth living.
42
Very good, says Otsumailov sternly, coughing and raising his eyebrows.
43
Very good.
44
Whose dog is it?
45
I won't let this pass.
46
I'll teach them to let their dogs run all over the place.
47
It's time these gentry were looked after, if they won't obey the regulations.
48
When his find, the Blaggard, I'll teach him what it means to keep dogs and such stray cattle.

I'll give him a lesson.

it must be a sign of rain there's one thing I can't make out how it came to bite you.

It's a little dog, and you are a great hulking fellow.

That's a lie, squint -eye.
65
You didn't see, so why tell lies about it?
66
His honour is a wise gentleman, and we'll see who is telling lies and who is telling the truth, as in God's sight.

And if I am lying let the court decide.

It's written in the law.
69
We are all equal nowadays.

My own brother is in the gendarmes, let me tell you.

Don't argue.

His are mostly setters.

I know it, too.

Where's the sense of it?

If a dog like that were to turn up in Petersburg or Moscow, do you know what would happen?
84
They would not worry about the law, they would strangle it in a twinkling.

You've been injured, Friakin, and we can't let the matter drop.
86
We must give them a lesson.

It is high time.
88
Yet maybe it is the generals, says the policeman, thinking aloud.

It's not written on its face.

I am cold.

107
What an idea.

We have never had one like that.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
