Tom had leaped at at the the sound sound , , like like a a horse horse at at the the spur , , but but Silver Silver had had not not winked winked an an eye eye . . He stood where he was , resting lightly on his crutch , watching his companion like a snake about to spring .
Том подскочил на звук, как лошадь, пришпорившая лошадь, но Сильвер и глазом не моргнул. Он стоял там, где стоял, слегка опираясь на костыль, наблюдая за своим спутником, как змея, готовая прыгнуть.
