source via 1596x2212
It was something like a saloon railway carriage - it seemed to be all lined and carpeted with rich, mossy red velvet. "Are you comfortable?" inquired the cuckoo. 1917 illustration by Maria L. Kirk for The Cuckoo Clock by Mrs. Molesworth, which was first published in 1877.
Это место напоминало нечто вроде вагона-салона - казалось, оно всё обито и устлано роскошным, дышащим старостью красным бархатом. "Вам удобно?", - спросила кукушка.
Очень нравится.
