Audiobook Dictation: “John Merrick, of Portland; and each…”

John Merrick, of Portland"; and each one bowed profoundly and declared he was "highly honored."

John Merrick, dari Portland"; dan masing-masing membungkuk dalam-dalam dan menyatakan dirinya "sangat terhormat."

Yet Uncle John seemed in no way elated by this reception.

Namun Paman John sama sekali tidak tampak gembira dengan sambutan ini.

"It's John Merrick" passed from mouth to mouth, and the uniformed official strutted from one window to another, saying:

"Itu John Merrick" berpindah dari mulut ke mulut, dan petugas berseragam itu melenggang angkuh dari satu loket ke loket lain, berkata:

"I showed him in myself.

"Saya sendiri yang mengantarnya masuk.

But Uncle John waived it aside disdainfully.

Tetapi Paman John menepisnya dengan meremehkan.

In a moment the great Broadway crowd had swallowed up John Merrick, and five minutes later he was thoughtfully gazing into a shop window again.

Dalam sekejap kerumunan besar Broadway telah menelan John Merrick, dan lima menit kemudian ia kembali memandangi sebuah etalase toko sambil termenung.

By and bye he bethought himself of the time, and took a cab uptown.

Lama-kelamaan ia teringat akan waktu, lalu naik kereta sewaan ke arah utara kota.

Do you know you're ten minutes late?"

Paman tahu Paman terlambat sepuluh menit?"

"I'm sorry," he said, humbly; "but it's a long way here from downtown."

"Maaf," katanya dengan rendah hati; "tapi dari pusat kota ke sini jauh sekali."

"Didn't you take a car?"

"Paman tidak naik trem?"
