What errant chromosomes or domestic dissensions had produced two such incongrous children as Helen and Douglas, Blackshear could not even guess.
Blackshear no podía entender los extraños cromosomas o las domésticas disensiones que habían fabricado a dos hijos tan incongruentes como Helen y Douglas.
As far as one could tell from their scant clothing, the two men might have been civil servants and neither was very young or very svelte, and one of them—with only his fly open, a sign of laziness rather than urgency—was wearing a pair of very bracing braces over his bare torso, which gave him an incongrous air, as if he were an impossible blend of office worker and butcher.
Aquellos dos sujetos tenían pinta de funcionarios en la medida en que su escasa ropa permitía hacer apuestas, y ninguno era muy joven ni muy esbelto, y uno de ellos —con el pantalón sólo abierto, un rasgo de pereza más que de urgencia— llevaba unos tirantes muy tirantes sobre la desnudez de su torso, que le conferían un aire incongruente, como si fuera una mezcla imposible de oficinista y carnicero.
