ton sbire Explanation: I think that the broken pet is a derogatory way to refer to one of the 6 men around the table, probably the "Weasel": "Around it huddled six men, plus the Wall and the Weasel." "Weasel burned it down.” The lady is mad and refers to him as a broken pet. DEFINITION Un sbire désigne généralement un individu répondant aux ordres d'un chef de gang ou d'un groupe d'influence, chargé d'exécuter les basses oeuvres et dont les méthodes sont essentiellement imprégnées par la violence et la menace. |
