This additional ceremony seemed somewhat stately; however, I repaired to my room, and, with Mrs. Fairfax's aid, replaced my black stuff dress by one of black silk; the best and the only additional one I had, except one of light grey, which, in my Lowood notions of the toilette, I thought too fine to be worn, except on first-rate occasions. "You want a brooch," said Mrs. Fairfax.
Questa formalità mi parve un poco cerimoniosa; nonostante andai in camera, ed aiutata dalla signora Fairfax, cambiai il vestito nero con uno di seta dello stesso colore, che, insieme con uno bigio-chiaro, serbavo per le grandi occasioni. — Vi ci vuole una spilla, — mi disse la signora Fairfax.
