Eating his cutlet and drinking his tea, he buried his chin in his sky-blue cravat, into which were thrust two diamond pins, held together by a small gold chain; and he smiled a singular smile, in a sugary, ambiguous fashion.
Mangeant sa côtelette et buvant son thé, il baissait le menton dans sa cravate bleu de ciel, piquée par deux épingles de diamants que rattachait une chaînette d’or; et il souriait d’un singulier sourire, d’une façon douceâtre et ambiguë.
