Well, our ship stopped in the morning, before it was quite daylight, at a great city--a huge city, with very dark houses and all smoky; not at all like the pretty clean town I came from; and Mr. Rochester carried me in his arms over a plank to the land, and Sophie came after, and we all got into a coach, which took us to a beautiful large house, larger than this and finer, called an hotel.
Ebbene, il bastimento si fermò la mattina, prima che il sole fosse alzato, in una grande grande città, nera nera, tutta coperta di fumo. Non somigliava punto alla città che avevo lasciata.
