"The conduct of the defendant's guard, if a wrong in its relation to the holder of the package, was not a wrong in its relation to the plaintiff standing far away. Relatively to her it was not negligence at all... If no hazard was apparent to the eye of ordinary vigilance, an act innocent and harmless, at least to outward seeming, with reference toward her, did not take to itself the quality of a tort because it happened to be a wrong, though apparently not one involving the risk of bodily insecurity, with reference to someone else... "

CONT

Si l'acte du gardien de la défenderesse est blâmable en ce qui concerne le porteur du colis, il ne l'est pas à l'égard de la demanderesse qui se trouvait loin du lieu de l'événement. Il n'y a eu relativement à celle-ci aucune négligence... S'il était impossible avec une vigilance ordinaire de déceler un danger, un acte en toute apparence innocent et ne présentant aucun danger à l'égard de celle-ci ne devient pas un délit du seul fait qu'il s'est révélé représenter une faute, et encore là, même pas semble-t-il une faute comportant un risque d'atteinte à l'intégrité physique, à l'égard de quelqu'un d'autre [...]
