Ya tenía la boca abierta para soltar un _conforme_ más grande que la casa de que debía ser portero, cuando el amor propio, que era su mayor enemigo, se le amotinó, y la fanfarronería cultivada en su mente armole una gritería espantosa.
3
He already had his mouth open to let out a ‘agreed’ louder than the house he was supposed to be the caretaker of, when his self respect, which was his worst enemy, rebelled,  and the boastfulness cultivated in his mind gave rise to a dreadful clamour.
