I found that I could see the black band upon Sir John's white hat, then that I could count the folds of his cape; finally, that I could see the pretty features of his wife as she looked back at us.
Je vis que je pouvais distinguer le ruban noir du chapeau blanc de Sir John, que je pouvais compter les plis de son manteau et je finis par distinguer les jolis traits de sa femme quand elle se tourna de notre côté.
