Il avait des jambes de bouc, de petites cornes à la tête et une longue barbe. Les enfants l’appelaient le Grand-général-commandant-en-chef-Jambe-de-Bouc, nom qui peut paraître long et difficile, mais titre dont peu de personnes ont été honorées jusqu’à présent.\nIn the middle of the wardrobe was a sculpture of a man with a peculiar appearance. He was always sneering – you couldn't call it laughing. He had the legs of a goat, little horns on his head and a long beard. The children called him Grand-General-Commander-in-Chief-Goat-Legs. The name may seem long and difficult, but very few people have been honoured with that title until now.",
