Thomas Hardy 的家族提過caul這回事，他將它寫在Return of the Native (Book iii chapter 7)。我抄張谷若先生的譯本供參考：
Fairway, Sam, and another placed their shillings on the table, and the man turned to Christian.
"No, sir," said Christian, drawing back, with a quick gaze of misgiving. "I am only a poor chap come to look on, an it please ye, sir. I don't so much as know how you do it. If so be I was sure of getting it I would put down the shilling; but I couldn't otherwise."
"I think you might almost be sure," said the pedlar. "In fact, now I look into your face, even if I can't say you are sure to win, I can say that I never saw anything look more like winning in my life."
"You'll anyhow have the same chance as the rest of us," said Sam.
"And the extra luck of being the last comer," said another. 「不但有同樣的機會，還格外有最後來的好運氣那，」【後來的好運氣：英國諺語：「最後的有運氣，髒土裡撿便士。」
hc案：還找不到原文；義大利說法：The last comer shuts the door. Source: (Italian). The later comer is ill lodged.Source: (Italian).】。
"And I was born wi' a caul, and perhaps can be no more ruined than drowned?" Christian added, beginning to give way.「俺是.戴著白帽子下生的，水裡淹不死俺，大約別的法子也毀不了俺吧？」克瑞開始心活起來，補充了一句話。

quadrilateral
In geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four 'sides' or edges and four vertices or corners. Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, for analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on. The word quadrilateral is made of the words quad and lateral. Quad means four and lateral means sides. The interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees of arc. (© Wikipedia)

People of French descent poured into Maine and other New England
states from Canada beginning in the 1870's and became the backbone of
textile mills and shoe factories. But resistance developed, and people
began stereotyping the newcomers as rednecks, dolts or inadequate
patriots. In 1919, Maine passed a law requiring schools to teach in
English.
