Mr Kasperl stood stiffly atop a hillock of shale, in a statuesque attitude, fists clenched at his sides and head thrown back, looking at the scene about him with an expression less of shock, it seemed, than a sort of scepticism, as if it were all a show got up to fool him, and he had seen through it.
El señor Kasperl estaba rígido e inmóvil encima de un montecillo de pizarra, en una actitud estatuaria, los puños cerrados a los costados y la cabeza echada hacia atrás, contemplando la escena que se desarrollaba en torno suyo con una expresión que más que de sorpresa parecía como de escepticismo, como si todo fuese un espectáculo montado para engañarle, y él se hubiese dado cuenta.
but he was not too surprised, one sunrise when they had come perhaps two hundred miles from the city where Hars received his injuries, to see a small hillock ahead of the cavalcade suddenly rear up on a score of stubby, elephantine legs, lift as far as possible a head mounted on a twenty-foot neck, stare for a long moment out of a battery of eyes, and then come lumbering to meet the oncoming tank.
pero no se sorprendió demasiado cuando, un amanecer, a trescientos kilómetros de la ciudad donde Hars recibió sus heridas, vio que una loma se alzaba de pronto sobre una veintena de patas rechonchas y elefantinas, erguía una cabeza montada sobre un pescuezo de seis metros, observaba durante un largo instante con una batería de ojos y trotaba al encuentro del tanque.
