Real-world Examples

In the servants’ hall two coachmen and three gentlemen’s gentlemen stood or sat round the fire; the abigails, I suppose, were upstairs with their mistresses; the new servants, that had been hired from Millcote, were bustling about everywhere.

하인들의 식당에서는 두 명의 마부와 세 명의 신사들의 집사가 불 주위에서 서 있거나 앉아 있었습니다. 아마도 아비게일들은 그들의 주군들과 함께 위층에 있을 것이고, 밀콧에서 고용된 새로운 하인들은 어디에서나 바쁘게 움직이고 있었습니다.
