"Dia berdiri di samping meja teh dengan gaun muslin berwarna terang, yang berwarna merah muda. Dia tampak seolah-olah tidak menghadiri pembicaraan, tetapi hanya sibuk dengan cangkir teh, di antaranya tangan bulat gadingnya bergerak dengan cantik, tanpa suara, pingsan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

She stood by the tea-table in a light-coloured muslin gown, which had a good deal of pink about it. She looked as if she was not attending to the conversation, but solely busy with the tea-cups, among which her round ivory hands moved with pretty, noiseless, daintiness.
