An individual standing inside the balustrade in the space left clear round the marble table , and whom up till now no one had noticed , so effectually was his tall and spare figure concealed from view by the thickness of the pillar against which he leaned ? this person , thin , sallow , light - haired , young still , though furrowed of brow and cheek , with gleaming eye and smiling mouth , clad in black serge threadbare and shiny with age , now approached the marble table and signed to the wretched victim 此人一直站在欄桿里邊,大理石桌子周圍的空檔里,誰都沒有瞅見他,因為他又長又瘦的身子靠在圓柱上,柱子的直徑完全擋住任何人的視線;此人高挑個兒,消瘦干癟,臉色蒼白,頭發(fā)金黃,額頭和腮幫上都有了皺紋,卻還很年輕,目光炯炯,滿臉笑容,身上穿的黑嗶嘰衣服舊得都磨破了,磨光了。
