Description: An excerpt from Lilias Armstrong's transcription of George Eliot's (1860) The Mill on the Floss, published in Textes pour nos élèves. Text is from Book 1, Chapter 5, and reads: "Oh, how brave you are, Tom! I think you're like Samson. If there came a lion roaring at me, I think you'd fight him, wouldn't you, Tom?" "How can a lion come roaring at you, you silly thing? There's no lions, only in the shows." "No; but if we were in the lion countries–I mean in Africa, where it's very hot; the lions eat people there. I can show it you in the book where I read it."
