Todos aquellos relamidos petimetres que perseguían a las damas eran tan jactanciosos como incultos, algo que había comprobado en las tertulias, atónito ante las estupideces que llegaba a escuchar.
All those affected dandies who pursued ladies were as vainglorious as they were uncultured, something he had seen in the gatherings; he’d been shocked at the stupidity he heard.

Del agresor sólo se supo que hablaba con el acento relamido de los andinos, así que las represalias del pueblo no fueron sólo contra él, sino contra cualquiera de los forasteros numerosos y aborrecidos que hablaban con su mismo acento.
The only thing known about the aggressor was that he spoke with the affected accent of the Andeans, so that the town’s reprisals were directed not only against him but any of the numerous despised strangers who spoke with that same accent.

En ninguna parte se había sentido tan forastero como en aquellas callecitas yertas con casas iguales de tejados pardos y jardines íntimos con flores de buen olor, donde se cocinaba a fuego lento una comunidad aldeana, cuyas maneras relamidas y cuyo dialecto ladino servían más para ocultar que para decir.
