My ostensible errand on this occasion was to get measured for a pair of shoes; so I discharged that business first, and when it was done, I stepped across the clean and quiet little street from the shoemaker's to the post-office: it was kept by an old dame, who wore horn spectacles on her nose, and black mittens on her hands.
Először tehát mértéket vétettem, azután a suszter műhelyéből átmentem a csendes és tiszta utcácska másik oldalára, a postára. A postamesternő idősebb hölgy volt, szarukeretes pápaszemet viselt s fekete csuklóvédőt.
