His hair was much greyer and very thin about the temples, and there were lines of overwork below the eyes. But the eyes were the same as before, keen and kindly and shrewd, and there was no change in the firm set of the jaw.Ses cheveux étaient très gris et clairsemés près des tempes, mais les yeux restaient les mêmes: vifs, perçants, et pourtant bienveillants.
