When Mrs. Fairfax had bidden me a kind good-night, and I had fastened my door, gazed leisurely round, and in some measure effaced the eerie impression made by that wide hall, that dark and spacious staircase, and that long, cold gallery, by the livelier aspect of my little room, I remembered that, after a day of bodily fatigue and mental anxiety, I was now at last in safe haven.
Quando la signora Fairfax mi ebbe gentilmente augurato la buona notte, e che ebbi chiuso l'uscio, guardai intorno a me; presto l'impressione che mi avevano prodotta quella immensa sala vuota, quella scura e spaziosa scala, e quel lungo e freddo corridoio, fu cancellata dall'aspetto più allegro della mia cameretta.
