何かの賭け事があってpurserという人がその情報を喋っているので周りの人が
聞き耳を立てている場面だと思います。カッコ後からわかりません。お願いします。
(The others at the table had become silent and were trying to hear,)
watching the purser with that intent ,half-cocked,listening look that
you can see also at the race track when they are trying to overhear a
trainer talking about his chance:the slightly open lips,the upstretched
eyebrows,the head forward and cocked a little to one side‐that
desperately straining,half-hypnotized,listening look comes to all of them
when they are hearing something straight from the horse's mouth.
