On the right of the well-heated church a staid though animated conversation was going on amidst the swallow-tail coats, white ties, uniforms, brocades, velvets and satins, hair, flowers, bare shoulders and arms and long gloves – the sound of which re-echoed strangely from the high dome above.
A la derecha de la iglesia caldeada, entre fracs y corbatas blancas, uniformes de gala, sedas, terciopelos, satenes, cabellos,flores, hombros y brazos descubiertos y largos guantes, se elevaba un murmullo contenido y animado que resonaba extrañamente bajo la alta cúpula.
