They arrived in due time at the place of destination, and as soon as the string of carriages before them would allow, alighted, ascended the stairs, heard their names announced from one landing-place to another in an audible voice, and entered a room splendidly lit up, quite full of company, and insufferably hot.
Llegaron a tiempo a su destino, y apenas la fila de carruajes frente a ellos lo permitió, se apearon, subieron las escalinatas, escucharon sus nombres anunciados a viva voz desde un rellano a otro, e ingresaron a una habitación de espléndida iluminación, llena de invitados e insoportablemente calurosa.
