The lawyer was a short, thick-set, bald-headed man, with a black beard tinged with red, long light-coloured eyebrows, and a bulging forehead: He was as spruce as a bridegroom, from his white necktie and double watch-chain to his patent leather boots.
L’avvocato era piccolo, tarchiato, calvo, con una barba rossoscura, le sopracciglia chiare, lunghe e la fronte rialzata. Era parato come uno sposo, dalla cravatta e dalla catena doppia fino alle scarpe di coppale.
