His manner was polite; his accent, in speaking, struck me as being somewhat unusual,--not precisely foreign, but still not altogether English: his age might be about Mr. Rochester's,--between thirty and forty; his complexion was singularly sallow: otherwise he was a fine-looking man, at first sight especially.
Ses manières étaient polies; son accent avait quelque chose de tout particulier; il ne me semblait ni étranger ni Anglais; il pouvait avoir le même âge que M. Rochester, de trente à quarante ans.
