      Johano kaj la vojkamarado ne volis tuj eniri en la urbon, sed ili restis en eksterurba gastejo, por ke ili antaŭe povu bonaranĝi siajn vestojn, ĉar ili volis ja bele aspekti, kiam ili montros sin sur la stratoj.
      John and his companion would not go into the town immediately; so they stopped at an inn outside the town, to change their clothes; for they wished to appear respectable as they walked through the streets.
