Rings um die vier Tischbeine ging eine Holzleiste, seit Jahrhunderten von Stiefelsohlen abgescheuert; der Tisch, der durch all die Zeiten so manchen schweren Rausch mit Faustschlägen und Krakeel mitgemacht hatte, ließ sich in seiner Schwere fast nicht von der Stelle rücken.

Around the table's four legs was a wooden strip, worn from centuries of scraping boot soles; the table, which had endured many a session of heavy drinking with fistfights and brawls through the ages, was so heavy, it could barely be moved.

Around the four-legged table was a wooden strap, worn away by boot soles for centuries. The table, which had been present for many a drunk with fisticuffs and brawls through all these times, could barely be moved from its position, given its weight.
