"O boo de la thing." exclaimed one character, hinting at a common saying about camels. Archie responds with some disdain, referencing Mr. Crawford's version of the phrase, which he claims to have heard in French. The phrase suggests that at the end of the trail, one will either find the camel or its owner, emphasizing the idea that the conclusion reveals the true nature or source of a matter.

Philippa agrees with Archie, affirming that this is exactly what the saying implies. She cheerfully notes that Mr. Crawford speaks it in French, indicating a shared understanding of the proverb's meaning. The exchange highlights their discussion about uncovering the truth or the conclusion behind a situation, metaphorically represented by the camel and its owner.
