When Forrest went through the French windows from his sleeping-porch,

he crossed, first, a comfortable dressing room, window-divaned, many-lockered, with a generous fireplace, out of which opened a bathroom; and, second, a long office room, wherein was all the paraphernalia of business--desks, dictaphones, filing cabinets, book cases, magazine files, and drawer-pigeonholes that tiered to the low, beamed ceiling.


Када је Форрест пролазио кроз прозоре из Француске из свог спавања,

прешао је, прво, удобну гардеробу, раздвојену прозоре, много закључане, са великодушним камином, од којих је отворио купатило; и, друго, дуга канцеларијска просторија, што су сви пословни елементи - столови, диктафони, кутије за књижење, кутије за књиге, часописе и гиганте у фиокама које су се спуштале на низак таван.
