Amtsarzt für die Gemeinden Grimpen, Thorsley und High Barrow."
I think that I am fairly justified in my inferences.
Ich denke, dass meine Schlussfolgerungen durchaus berechtigt sind.
As to the adjectives, I said, if I remember right, amiable, unambitious, and absent-minded.
Was die Adjektive betrifft, sagte ich, wenn ich mich recht entsinne, liebenswürdig, ohne Ehrgeiz und zerstreut.
It is my experience that it is only an amiable man in this world who receives testimonials, only an unambitious one who abandons a London career for the country, and only an absent-minded one who leaves his stick and not his visiting-card after waiting an hour in your room."
Es ist meine Erfahrung, dass in dieser Welt nur ein liebenswürdiger Mann Empfehlungsschreiben erhält, nur ein ehrgeizloser eine Londoner Karriere für das Land aufgibt und nur ein zerstreuter seinen Stock und nicht seine Visitenkarte hinterlässt, nachdem er eine Stunde in Ihrem Zimmer gewartet hat."
"Has been in the habit of carrying this stick behind his master.
„Er hatte die Gewohnheit, diesen Stock hinter seinem Herrn herzutragen.
Being a heavy stick the dog has held it tightly by the middle, and the marks of his teeth are very plainly visible.
Da es ein schwerer Stock ist, hat der Hund ihn fest in der Mitte gehalten, und die Abdrücke seiner Zähne sind sehr deutlich sichtbar.
The dog's jaw, as shown in the space between these marks, is too broad in my opinion for a terrier and not broad enough for a mastiff.
Der Kiefer des Hundes, wie er im Abstand zwischen diesen Abdrücken zu erkennen ist, ist meiner Meinung nach zu breit für einen Terrier und nicht breit genug für eine Dogge.
It may have been—yes, by Jove, it _is_ a curly-haired spaniel.
Es könnte gewesen sein – ja, beim Jupiter, es _ist_ ein lockenhaariger Spaniel.
