Summary
This man is a bully. This is his first impression of Captain Paddy Mayne.
Though, that is not necessarily true.
His first, first impression is, well, that this man is slight. He’s slight, and unkempt – the latter of which he attributes to the harsh living conditions of the desert and the former of which amuses him to an extent.
Now, being the learned man that he is, he knows that looks can be deceiving, that he should be above judging a man before they’ve even spoken. And yet, nothing about Mayne strikes him as particularly threatening. And then - then the man opens his mouth and Augustin knows he's in way over his head.(or: What if Augustin stuck around and what if there's more to Paddy Mayne than his overt aggression)
