There was once upon a time an old fox with nine tails, who believed that his wife was not faithful to him, and wished to put her to the test.

从前有一只九尾老狐狸，他认为妻子对自己不忠，想试探她。

Even those neighbors who had called Peter Featherstone an old fox, had never accused him of being insincerely polite, and his sister was quite used to the peculiar absence of ceremony with which he marked his sense of blood-relationship.

甚至那些称彼得·费瑟斯通为老狐狸的邻居，也从未指责他虚伪礼貌，他的妹妹也很习惯他特有的不拘礼节，以此来标记他的血缘关系。
