Old grandam Moan, who had been taken home before the singing began, was there. She had been sleeping for the last two hours in her bunk, the flaps of which were shut.

But they only perceived her still venerable face and closed eyes; she slept, or she feigned to do so, not to disturb them.英文原著 · 《AN ICELAND FISHERMAN》
The apartments within consist of a hall, where advice is given to the poor gratis; a committee-room, a library, another great hall, where the doctors meet once a quarter, which is beautifully wainscoted, carved, and adorned with fretwork. Here are the pictures of Dr. Harvey, who first discovered the circulation of the blood, and other benefactors, and northward from this, over the library, is the censor's room.英文原著 · 《London in 1731》
