My seat, to which Bessie and the bitter Miss Abbot had left me riveted, was a low ottoman near the marble chimney-piece; the bed rose before me; to my right hand there was the high, dark wardrobe, with subdued, broken reflections varying the gloss of its panels; to my left were the muffled windows; a great looking-glass between them repeated the vacant majesty of the bed and room.
Il sedile su cui Bessie e l'aspra signorina Abbot mi avevano lasciata, era un'ottomana bassa collocata vicino al caminetto di marmo. Il letto mi stava dinanzi; a diritta il grande e cupo armadio; a sinistra due finestre chiuse con uno specchio nel mezzo, che rifletteva la tetra maestà della camera e del letto.
