“Sus ojos, de un color castaño pálido, no muy grandes, eran levemente bizcos, el izquierdo más que el derecho. No eran tan estrábicos como para desfigurarlo, ni siquiera para llamar la atención a primera vista. Eran sólo lo bastante bizcos como para mencionarlo, y sólo en relación con el hecho de que uno tenía que pensarlo larga y seriamente antes de desear que fueran más derechos, o más profundos, o más oscuros, o más separados.

They love their reasons for loving us almost as much as they love us, and most of the time more. It’s not so good, that way.” He turned toward Nicholson again, sitting slightly forward. “Do you have the time, please?” he asked. “I have a swimming lesson at ten-thirty.”
