Sometimes he cut the cord so that the skull bumped on the floor and he had to string it up again, fastening it with some chivalry almost out of reach 55 so that his enemy grinned at him through shrunk, black lips triumphantly.Ī veces cortaba la cuerda y la cabeza rebotaba en el suelo y tenía que colgarla de nuevo, atándola con cierta hidalguía casi fuera de su alcance, de suerte que su enemigo le hacía muecas triunfales a través de labios contraídos, negros. Pero como sólo tenía dieciséis años, y era demasiado joven para cabalgar por tierras de Francia o por tierras de África, solía escaparse de su madre y de los pavos reales en el jardín, y subir hasta su buhardilla para hender, y arremeter y cortar el aire con su acero.

La cabeza era del color de una vieja pelota de football, y más o menos de la misma forma, salvo por las mejillas hundidas y una hebra o dos de pelo seco y ordinario, como el pelo de un coco. It was the colour of an old of one, save for the sunken cheeks and a strand or two of coarse, dry hair, like the hair on a cocoanut.
