      Sidante ĉe sia skribotablo, turnante sian dorson al la fenestro, sinjoro Taburio starigis sian nazumon, rigardis longe kaj fikse la junulon, ne respondante, kaj petis malvarme:
      —Ĉu vi estas Fernando Herbeno?
      Sitting at his desk, turning his back to the window, mister Taburio put his pince-nez on, fixed the young man with a long stare, not giving any answer, and asked coldly: "Are you Fernando Herbeno?"
