A second time the dog’s yelping is heard, and a shout: “Don’t let her go!”
Where it stands
За ней гонится человек в ситцевой крахмальной рубахе и расстёгнутой жилетке. After her races a man in a starched cotton shirt and an unbuttoned waistcoat.
Он бежит за ней и, подавшись туловищем вперёд, падает на землю и хватает собаку за задние лапы. He runs after her and, pitching his body forward, falls to the ground and seizes the dog by her hind legs.
Из лавок высовываются сонные физиономии, и скоро около дровяного склада, словно из земли выросши, собирается толпа. Sleepy faces poke out of the shops, and soon a crowd has gathered by the timber yard, as though it had sprung up out of the ground.
