Afternoon arrived: Mrs. Fairfax assumed her best black satin gown, her gloves, and her gold watch; for it was her part to receive the company,--to conduct the ladies to their rooms, &c.
Por la tarde, Mrs. Fairfax se puso su mejor vestido de raso negro y su reloj de oro, a fin de recibir a los invitados, llevar a sus cuartos a las señoras, etc.
