mientras se dirigiesen a su bufete



The character is a lawyer:

“I incline to, Cain’s heresy,” he used to say. “I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly “own way.” In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour."

One "official" translation of this is:

" Por este talante, a menudo solía ser el último conocido estimable, la última influencia saludable en la vida de los hombres encamina dos cuesta abajo; y en sus relaciones con éstos, mientras duraban las mismas, procuraba mostrarse mínimamente cambiado."
