Thursday came: all work had been completed the previous evening; carpets were laid down, bed-hangings festooned, radiant white counterpanes spread, toilet tables arranged, furniture rubbed, flowers piled in vases: both chambers and saloons looked as fresh and bright as hands could make them.
La sera prima del giovedì tutti i preparativi erano terminati, i vasi erano pieni di fiori, i mobili lucenti e nella sala da pranzo le credenze erano coperte di ricche porcellane.
