Scarlet-liveried footman - Tradução em português

Eu não consegui traduzir algumas frases de um livro que estou lendo "War and Peace" vocês poderiam me ajudar? Segue abaixo:

"...written in French, and delivered by a scarlet-liveried footman that morning..."

"..wearing an embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes.."

"..and a serene expression on his flat face.."

"Set your friend's mind at rest.."

"And the fete at the English ambassador's?.."

"..said the prince, who, like a wound-up clock.."

"always played round her lips expressed, as in a spoiled child, a continual consciousness of her charming defect..."

Desde já, obrigado.
