I did not need to be guided to the well-known room, to which I had so often been summoned for chastisement or reprimand in former days. I hastened before Bessie; I softly opened the door: a shaded light stood on the table, for it was now getting dark.
No me era necesario guía para llegar al bien conocido cuarto a que tantas veces me llamaran en los viejos tiempos para propinarme castigos o reprimendas. Precedí a Bessie y abrí la puerta con suavidad.
