I watched it ascending the drive with indifference; carriages often came to Gateshead, but none ever brought visitors in whom I was interested; it stopped in front of the house, the door-bell rang loudly, the new-comer was admitted.
Molte carrozze venivano a Gateshead, ma i visitatori che conducevano mi erano sempre indifferenti. La carrozza si fermò davanti alla casa, si udì una scampanellata e il visitatore entrò.
