The door led right into a large kitchen, which was full of smoke from one end to the other: the Duchess was sitting on a three-legged stool in the middle, nursing a baby; the cook was leaning over the fire, stirring a large cauldron which seemed to be full of soup.
В просторной кухне дым стоял столбом;посредине на колченогом табурете сидела Герцогиня и качала младенца;кухарка у печи склонилась над огромным котлом, до краев наполненным супом.
