The carriage stopped, as I had expected, at the hotel door; my flame (that is the very word for an opera inamorata) alighted: though muffed in a cloak--an unnecessary encumbrance, by-the-bye, on so warm a June evening--I knew her instantly by her little foot, seen peeping from the skirt of her dress, as she skipped from the carriage-step.
La puerta del hotel se abrió y mi hermosa bajó del coche: la reconocí, a pesar de ir cubierta por un abrigo, innecesario en aquella cálida noche de junio, por sus piececitos que aparecían bajo el vestido.
