By the light of a lamp he saw a woman, wrapped in a dark mantle, seated upon a stool near a dying fire. Her elbows were placed upon a mean table, and she leaned her head upon her two hands, which were white as ivory.
A la luz de una lámpara vio a una mujer envuelta en un manto de color oscuro sentada en un escabel, junto a un fuego moribundo: sus codos estaban apoyados sobre una mala mesa, y apoyaba su cabeza en sus dos manos blancas como el marfil.
