épousseté le salpêtre et la poussière des dalles sur leur jupon à l'endroit des genoux, elles s'en allèrent sans plus rien se dire

Comment traduirait-on la phrase citée ci-dessus en anglais ? Voilà ce que je propose: "...brushed off the saltpeter and paving stone dust from around the knees on their petticoats, they set off without saying anything else to each other."

Oui, moi, je l'aurais traduit comme ça.
