From this dismal spot they were rescued by a savage old postilion , who happened to be up early , kicking a horse in a fly : and so were smuggled into the town by all the back lanes where the pigs lived : which , although not a magnificent or even savoury approach , was , as is usual in such cases , the legitimate highway .
Из этого унылого места их вызволил старый дикий форейтор, который случайно встал рано и пинал лошадь в муху; или даже пикантный подход был, как обычно в таких случаях, законным путем.
