Often, of an evening, when he sat at the window, his desk and papers before him, he would cease reading or writing, rest his chin on his hand, and deliver himself up to I know not what course of thought; but that it was perturbed and exciting might be seen in the frequent flash and changeful dilation of his eye.
A veces, por las tardes, al sentarse junto a la ventana, con sus papeles ante sí, dejaba de escribir o de leer y se entregaba a no sé qué clase de pensamientos, que evidentemente, le excitaban y le perturbaban, como se podía apreciar por la expresión de sus ojos.
