En sus encías ha aparecido una línea morada, síntoma de saturnismo desarrollado por tantos años trabajando con albayalde, lo cual es posible que agrave aún más su asma.
The blue line along his gums is a symptom of lead poisoning from the white lead he uses so often at work, a condition that may worsen his shortness of breath.
Cansado de leer a un lado del mostrador, Manterolamaharajá se dirigió al bar del hotel, y escogiendo una esquina mal iluminada en nombre de la clandestinidad, que no de la buena calidad de la lectura, abrió El Univer-sal, donde Librado escribía una de sus retorcidas y emo- cionales crónicas, esta vez dedicada a preguntarse en voz alta cómo había muerto de saturnismo un afamado in- dustrial gráfico que nunca se acercaba al plomo de las imprentas de su propiedad.
Tired of reading standing up by the newsstand, Maharaja Manterola headed for the hotel bar where he installed himself in a dark corner at the rear, for the sake of surreptitiousness, if not comfortable reading. He opened up El Universal and found the page where Librado had written one of his emotionally twisted stories, asking publicly how one of the most prominent leaders of the city's graphics industry had died of lead poisoning when he had never spent any time in the leaded atmosphere of the print shops he owned.
