THE BALL HAD ONLY JUST BEGUN when Kitty and her mother ascended the broad staircase which was deluged with light, decorated with flowering plants, and occupied by powdered footmen in red liveries.
Se iniciaba el baile cuando Kitty entró con su madre en la gran escalera iluminada, adornada de flores, llena de lacayos de empolvada peluca y rojo caftán.
