Our hostess hospitably offered us her assistance in undressing, according to Icelandic usage; but on our gracefully declining, she insisted no longer, and I was able at last to curl myself up in my mossy bed.
L'hôtesse offrit de nous retirer, suivant la coutume, nos bas et nos pantalons; mais, sur un refus des plus gracieux de notre part, elle n'insista pas, et je pus enfin me blottir dans ma couche de fourrage.
