Question on echarle el ojo a ...
I'm reading "La Zorra y las uvas" by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. I'm having trouble analyzing this example of "echarle el ojo":
"le echó el ojo a unas uvas ..." (the fox) glanced at some grapes. My question is: is the indirect object, le, referring to "a unas uvas"? If so, why does the pronoun not agree in number with its noun? That is, wouldn't we use "les" instead of "le"? Or am I off track completely, and "a las uvas" has nothing to do with the "le" of echarle el ojo? Thanks for any insight.
