O segundo, encostado num dos esteios de jacarandá que sustentava o teto da alpendrada, era homem trigueiro, de perto de quarenta anos; a sua fisionomia apresentava uns longes do tipo da raça judaica; tinha os olhos fitos em uma vereda que serpejava pela frente da casa até perder-se no mato.

The setting

The second, leaning against one of the jacaranda posts that held up the roof of the porch, was a swarthy man of nearly forty; his features showed faint traces of the Jewish type; his eyes were fixed on a path that wound before the house until it lost itself in the woods.
