      Da dođemo onamo, bilo nam je ići preko seoskoga groblja. Uđosmo na razrušena, polupana vrata. Lugari i pogoniči odoše naprijed da se poređaju, a mi otpočinusmo. Ovako umorni povalismo se na prvu ledinu.
      To get there, we had to go through the village cemetery. We went in through the dilapidated, broken down gate. The foresters and beaters went off ahead to line things up and we rested a bit. Then, tired, we spread out over the first field.
