Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the captain soon knuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like a beaten dog.

Ich bin nicht nur ein Arzt; ich bin ein Richter; und wenn mir auch nur der geringste Grund zur Klage über Euch zu Ohren kommt, und sei es nur wegen einer Unverschämtheit wie der heutigen, werde ich wirksame Maßnahmen ergreifen, um Euch aufzuspüren und aus diesem Ort zu vertreiben.
Soon after, Dr. Livesey's horse came to the door and he rode away, but the captain held his peace that evening, and for many evenings to come.
Kurz darauf wurde Dr. Liveseys Pferd vor die Tür gebracht und er ritt davon, aber der Kapitän bewahrte an jenem Abend und noch viele Abende danach seinen Frieden.
