He observed, with passive interest, that the operation of shaving did not appreciably lighten the stain upon his skin, and, by the time that he was shaved, he had begun to know the dark-haired, yellow-faced man grimacing in the mirror for himself; but he was far from being reconciled to his new appearance.
3
Il observa, avec résignation, que le rasage n'éclaircissait pas sensiblement la teinture appliquée sur son visage, et, quand il eut fini de se raser, il avait commencé à accepter l'homme aux cheveux noirs et au visage jaunâtre qui grimaçait dans le miroir ; mais il était loin d'être satisfait de sa nouvelle tête.
