Capitolo 28
"Yes", answered Conrad, gruffly.
Although Walter Gale didn't have anything to do with his/her defeat, he was not able completely
forgive him/it to give the prize to Andy. He felt whenever him mortified every
he thought of it, and it wished to understand the Mr. Frills that he was not
inferior to Andy.
"I was unlucky the other day", he said. "Me extended my muscles or me

Conrad won from a dozen of lengths, the Mr. Frills that a very good second does.
"You has won, Conrad", says the young one, good-naturedly. "Here is the
prize."
Conrad pocketed the account with a lot of satisfaction.
"I will alter Him some day", he said.
Walter Gale the head shook him.
"I have to wait up to me you/he/she has improved", he said, "or you will strike me each
