| "Anyway, I didn't ask you." | "Enywae, Ie didn't ask ue." |
| "You didn't dare." | "Ue didn't der." |
| "Oh, I don't know about that. I invite you now." | "Oe, Ie doent noe ubout dhat. Ie inviet ue nou." |
| Brissenden half rose from his chair as he spoke, as if with the intention of departing to the restaurant forthwith. | Brisundun haf roez frum hiz dher az hy spoek, az if with dhy intenchun uv diporting too dhu resturont faurthwith. |
| Martin's fists were tight-clenched, and his blood was drumming in his temples. | Mortun'z fists wur tiet-klenchd, and hiz blud wuz druming in hiz tempulz. |
| "Bosco! He eats 'em alive! Eats 'em alive!" Brissenden exclaimed, imitating the spieler of a locally famous snake-eater. | "Boskoe! Hy yts 'um uliev!" Brisundun eksklaemd, imutaeting dhu spylur uv u loekuly faemus snaek-ytur. |

| "Only I'm not worthy of it?" | "Oenly Ie'm not wurdhy uv it?" |
| "On the contrary," Martin considered, "because the incident is not worthy." He broke into a laugh, hearty and wholesome. "I confess you made a fool of me, Brissenden. That I am hungry and you are aware of it are only ordinary phenomena, and there's no disgrace. You see, I laugh at the conventional little moralities of the herd; then you drift by, say a sharp, true word, and immediately I am the slave of the same little moralities." | "On dhu kontrery," Mortun kunsidurd, "bikauz dhy insudunt iz not wurdhy."

| "You were insulted," Brissenden affirmed. | "Ue wur insultud," Brisundun ufurmd. |
