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.
Aveva modi cortesi e un accento che non lo faceva giudicare né straniero, né inglese. Poteva avere la stessa età del signor Rochester, e se non avesse avuto la carnagione gialla, sarebbe stato bello, sopratutto a prima vista.
