El veia amb els ulls roigs i extraviats de quan s'enrabiava, la cara llarga, unes dents que em volien mossegar.I saw with my imagination the earthly figure of the assistant in front of whom I would have to humble myself. I saw him with the bulging red eyes from when he would get angry, the long face, teeth that wanted to bite me.
