There was no superfluous ornament in the room--not one modern piece of furniture, save a brace of workboxes and a lady's desk in rosewood, which stood on a side-table: everything--including the carpet and curtains--looked at once well worn and well saved.
No había un solo adorno superfluo, ni un solo mueble moderno, excepto dos costureros y un escritorio de señora, de palisandro. Todo lo más, incluso cortinajos y alfombras, parecía tan viejo como bien conservado.
