His glance was keen but showed cunning rather than intelligence ; his lips were straight , and so thin that , as they closed , they were drawn in over the teeth ; his cheek - bones were broad and projecting , a never - failing proof of audacity and craftiness ; while the flatness of his forehead , and the enlargement of the back of his skull , which rose much higher than his large and coarsely shaped ears , combined to form a physiognomy anything but prepossessing , save in the eyes of such as considered that the owner of so splendid an equipage must needs be all that was admirable and enviable , more especially when they gazed on the enormous diamond that glittered in his shirt , and the red ribbon that depended from his button - hole 這個人的目光很敏銳,但這種敏銳的目光與其說可顯示出他的聰明,倒不如說可顯示出他的奸詐,他的兩片嘴唇成直線形的,而且相當薄,以致當它們閉攏的時候,幾乎完全被壓進了嘴巴里。總之,他那大而凸出的顴骨那是確定的奸詐的證明,他那扁平的前額,他那大得超過耳朵的后腦骨,他那大而庸俗的耳朵,在一位相面先生的眼中,這副尊容實在是不配受人尊敬的,但人們之所以尊敬他,當然是因為他有那幾匹雄壯美麗的馬,有那佩在前襟上的大鉆石,和那從上衣的這一邊紐孔拖到那一邊紐孔的紅緞帶。
