I made no such formidable a figure as that a man should flee when I accosted him; and my conscience not being entirely clear, I was more accustomed to be uneasy myself than to see others timid.
Я с виду отнюдь не столь грозен, чтобы пускаться от меня наутек; к тому же совесть моя была не вовсе чиста, я скорее привык сам остерегаться, нежели видеть, как робеют предо мной.
