All this is visible to you by the light of an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, and by that of an excellent fire, near which I sit in my cloak and bonnet; my muff and umbrella lie on the table, and I am warming away the numbness and chill contracted by sixteen hours' exposure to the rawness of an October day: I left Lowton at four o'clock a.m., and the Millcote town clock is now just striking eight.
Én kabátban, kalapban ültem a kandalló mellett; muffom és esernyőm az asztalon pihent. Tizenhat órán át fagyoskodtam a postakocsiban - hajnali négy órakor indultam Lowtonból, és a millcote-i toronyóra éppen most ütötte el a nyolcat -; a nyirkos októberi napon minden tagom megdermedt.
