As we sat there in the firelight, with the three white-headed children staring at me with saucer eyes, and smiling when I looked their way, the woman talked.

Et la femme se mit à parler. Assis dans la clarté des flammes, les trois enfants blonds me considéraient avec des yeux ronds et souriaient lorsque je regardais de leur côté.

A table, somewhat rheumatic in its limbs, was drawn out in front of the fire, and covered with a cloth, displaying cups and saucers of a decidedly brilliant pattern, with other symptoms of an approaching meal.

Une table, tant soit peu boiteuse, placée en face du feu, recouverte d’une serviette, et garnie de tasses et de soucoupes des plus éclatantes couleurs, annonce qu’on attend compagnie.
