Blinking, confused nevertheless, struggling to calm down, he divided, leaning against the vano de la puerta, the silhouette of the sheriff. His flaccid face, with its red mustaches and slanderous eyes, gazed at him with the antipathy he had never tried to hide. Here is someone who would suffer if the English Government granted the request for clemency.
