Three women: an old lady a young lady, and a tradesman's wife; and three gentlemen: one a German banker with a ring on his finger, another a bearded merchant, and the third an irate official in uniform with an order hanging from his neck, had evidently long been waiting.
Три дамы: старушка, молодая и купчиха, три господина: один -- банкир-немец с перстнем на пальце, другой -- купец с бородой, и третий -- сердитый чиновник в вицмундире, с крестом на шее, очевидно, давно уже ждали.
