Traducción de una oración
 
En fin, quién soy yo para juzgar a esa señora, concluyó Frank, observando de reojo a Pablo y preguntándose con curiosidad, muy a pesar suyo, cuánto habría de cierto en los rumores.

In short, who am I to judge that lady, concluded Frank, observing...

I hope this works to help you complete your translation:

De reojo: out of the corner of one's eye.
Preguntarse: to wonder
A pesar de: in spite of / despite

Correct me if I am wrong but then the sentence should translate exactly to:

In short, who am I to judge that lady, concluded Frank, observing Pablo out of the corner of his eye and asking himself with curiosity, despite himself, how much truth was there in the rumors.

I feel the English version a bit strange, but I'm not a native English speaker. If they find it does makes sense, then it will be correct. ;)

I'd think that "despite himself" would better conveyed with "much to his regret"... Let's see if an English native speaker says something...!

That's my version. Now, I would like to know who's Frank. We have Pablo and the lady (Angélica)...:rolleyes:

... how much truth there was in the rumors.

I agree with every other change appearing in the last post.
