At these these words a a great great shout shout of of laughter laughter went went up up from from those those on the the bench bench , , and and the the landlord landlord 's 's face face grew grew red red as as a a cherry cherry from from smothering smothering his his laugh laugh in in his his stomach stomach ; ; but but he he kept kept his his merriment merriment down down , , for for he he wished wished not not to to bring the the ill-will ill-will of of the the brothers brothers of of Fountain Fountain Abbey Abbey upon upon him him by by unseemly unseemly mirth mirth . . So the two brethren , as they could do nought else , having mounted their nags , turned their noses toward Lincoln and rode away .
При этих словах сидевшие на скамье разразились громким хохотом, и лицо хозяина покраснело, как вишня, от того, что он подавил смех в животе; но он сдержал свое веселье, так как не хотел навлечь на себя неприличным весельем недоброжелательность братьев из аббатства Фонтанов. Итак, оба брата, поскольку ничего другого они сделать не могли, сели на своих кляч, повернули носы к Линкольну и уехали.
