Like all train travellers of the time, Phulboni was wholly prepared for an eventuality such as this: packed in his bedding-roll were a thin mattress, a pillow and several sheets and towels.

Como todos los viajeros que utilizaban el tren en aquella época, Phulboni iba enteramente preparado para una eventualidad como aquélla: metido en la bolsa llevaba un colchón ligero, una almohada y varias sábanas y toallas.

If anything, the Brother opened himself up to the pounding, falling back against his pillows as John punched him in the mouth and the eyes and the jaw over and over again.

Bueno, en realidad sí hizo algo, se abrió para recibir los golpes, cayendo contra las almohadas mientras los golpes de John lo fustigaban una y otra vez sobre la boca, los ojos y la mandíbula.

The king-sized bed was covered with a black quilt and had enough pillows to get you comfortable without girling you up.

To prevent or reduce swelling, keep your hand raised above heart level either in a sling, when out and about, or on pillows when at home (see pictures to the right).

Para prevenir o reducir la hinchazón, mantenga la mano elevada sobre el nivel del corazón ya sea en un cabestrillo, cuando salga afuera, o con almohadas, cuando este en casa (observe las figuras de la derecha).

He leaned back against the pillows, set his glass on his chest and watched the last bit swirl around.

Lo vio recostarse en los almohadones, apoyar la copa sobre su pecho y hacer girar el poco coñac que le quedaba.
