Sometimes I saw shadows behind the curtains. Sometimes someone, an older woman, a man in a tie, a long-faced adolescent, would open a window and look out at the grid of Barcelona at dusk.

A veces veía sombras detrás de las cortinas, a veces alguien, una mujer de edad, un hombre con corbata, un adolescente de cara alargada, abría una ventana y contemplaba el plano de Barcelona al atardecer.

Volví a colocar la pistola en mi cintura, cerré todas las ventanas del apartamento, corrí las cortinas del dormitorio y cerré la puerta, bloqueándola con dos sillas haciendo cuña.

But when having finished I switched it off again, I could see early daylight at the edges of the curtains.

"I don't know how we're all going to fit in here," said the impresario, and immediately he pulled back the curtains.
