"Will you walk this way, ma'am?" said the girl; and I followed her across a square hall with high doors all round: she ushered me into a room whose double illumination of fire and candle at first dazzled me, contrasting as it did with the darkness to which my eyes had been for two hours inured; when I could see, however, a cosy and agreeable picture presented itself to my view.
Me condujo, a través de un vestíbulo cuadrado flanqueado de altas puertas, hasta un cuarto cuya doble iluminación de fuego y bujías casi me dejó ciega durante un momento por contraste con las tinieblas en que había estado sumida durante dos horas. Cuando pude ver, me hallé agradablemente sorprendida por un cuadro atractivo y alegre.
