Sorel

With some labor, since the English is only a translucent, and not a transparent medium to Sorel, this is made clear.

Fortunately, M. Sorel can speak the English: he has learned it in making purchases for his table.

And Sorel instinctively lets his right arm hang limp, as if the sleeve were empty.

Curiosity, however, prompts Sorel at this point to an inquiry: "'Ow much 'e goin' pay 'im?"

M. Sorel must introduce him to those brave Frenchmen, his friends and neighbors; Mr. Fox must grasp them by the hand, one by one.
