Stephen Maturin had dined with the ladies of Mapes, Mrs Williams, Sophia, Cecilia and Frances - traces of brown windsor soup, codfish, pigeon pie, and baked custard could be seen on his neck-cloth, his snuff-coloured waistcoat and his drab breeches, for he was an untidy eater and he had lost his napkin before the first remove, in spite of Sophia’s efforts at preserving it - and now he was sitting on one side of the fire drinking tea, white Sophia toasted him crumpets on the other, leaning forward over the pink and silver glow with particular attention neither to scorch the crumpet by holding it too close nor to parch it by holding it too far down.
Stephen Maturin había comido con las damas que vivían en Mapes, la señora Williams, Sophie, Cecilia y Francés (tenía restos de sopa de Windsor, bacalao, pastel de pichón y flan en la corbata, la chaqueta color tabaco y los calzones grises, porque era muy descuidado al comer y la servilleta se le había caído antes de que terminara el primer plato, a pesar de los esfuerzos de Sophie para que la conservara), y ahora estaba sentado junto a la chimenea tomando el té, mientras Sophie, a su lado, inclinada hacia las llamas de color rosa y plata, tostaba bollos, procurando no acercarlos ni alejarlos demasiado para que no se quemaran ni se resecaran.
