Turning from Bessie (though her presence was far less obnoxious to me than that of Abbot, for instance, would have been), I scrutinised the face of the gentleman: I knew him; it was Mr. Lloyd, an apothecary, sometimes called in by Mrs. Reed when the servants were ailing: for herself and the children she employed a physician.
Volgendo lo sguardo da Bessie, benché la sua presenza mi fosse molto meno incresciosa che quella di Abbot, esaminai il volto dell'estraneo. Lo conoscevo, era il signor Lloyd, un farmacista chiamato qualche volta dalla signora Reed quando i servi erano malati, perché per sé e per i figli ricorreva al medico.
