I was now able to concentrate my attention on the group by the fire, and I presently gathered that the new-comer was called Mr. Mason; then I learned that he was but just arrived in England, and that he came from some hot country: which was the reason, doubtless, his face was so sallow, and that he sat so near the hearth, and wore a surtout in the house.
Seppi allora che si chiamava Mason, che era giunto in Inghilterra da un paese caldo, e capii allora perché era così giallo e aveva tanto freddo, e capii perché portava il mantello anche in casa.
