I was yet enjoying the calm prospect and pleasant fresh air, yet listening with delight to the cawing of the rooks, yet surveying the wide, hoary front of the hall, and thinking what a great place it was for one lonely little dame like Mrs. Fairfax to inhabit, when that lady appeared at the door.
Mientras yo disfrutaba del paisaje y del aire puro, escuchaba los graznidos de las cornejas y pensaba, contemplando la residencia, en lo grande que era para una viejecita sola como Mrs. Fairfax, ella en persona apareció en la puerta.
