Porthos had his fits. On the days when he won he was insolent and ostentatious; if he lost, he disappeared completely for several days, after which he reappeared with a pale face and thinner person, but with money in his purse.
Porthos tenía rachas: esos días, si ganaba, se le veía insolente y espléndido; si perdía, desaparecía por completo durante algunos días, al cabo de los cuales reaparecía con el rostro descolorido y mal gesto, pero con dinero en sus bolsillos.
