A Room with a View — Page 14
I do not wish the acceptance to come from you. Grant me that, at all events."
Não desejo que a aceitação venha de você. Conceda-me isso, em todo caso."
Mr. Beebe was back, saying rather nervously:
O Sr. Beebe havia voltado, dizendo um tanto nervosamente:
"Mr. Emerson is engaged, but here is his son instead."
"O Sr. Emerson está ocupado, mas aqui está seu filho em seu lugar."
The young man gazed down on the three ladies, who felt seated on the floor, so low were their chairs.
O jovem olhou de cima para as três senhoras, que se sentiam como se estivessem sentadas no chão, tão baixas eram suas cadeiras.
"My father," he said, "is in his bath, so you cannot thank him personally. But any message given by you to me will be given by me to him as soon as he comes out."
"Meu pai," disse ele, "está no banho, portanto não podem agradecê-lo pessoalmente. Mas qualquer recado que me derem será transmitido por mim a ele assim que sair."
Miss Bartlett was unequal to the bath. All her barbed civilities came forth wrong end first.
A Srta. Bartlett não estava à altura da situação do banho. Todas as suas civilidades mordazes saíram pelo lado errado.
Young Mr. Emerson scored a notable triumph to the delight of Mr. Beebe and to the secret delight of Lucy.
O jovem Sr. Emerson obteve um triunfo notável para o deleite do Sr. Beebe e para o deleite secreto de Lucy.
"Poor young man!" said Miss Bartlett, as soon as he had gone.
"Pobre rapaz!" disse a Srta. Bartlett, assim que ele saiu.
"How angry he is with his father about the rooms! It is all he can do to keep polite."
"Como ele está irritado com seu pai por causa dos quartos! É tudo o que ele consegue fazer para se manter educado."
"In half an hour or so your rooms will be ready," said Mr. Beebe.
"Em meia hora ou mais seus quartos estarão prontos," disse o Sr. Beebe.
Then looking rather thoughtfully at the two cousins, he retired to his own rooms, to write up his philosophic diary.
Então, olhando de forma bastante pensativa para as duas primas, ele se retirou para seus próprios aposentos, para escrever seu diário filosófico.
"Oh, dear!" breathed the little old lady, and shuddered as if all the winds of heaven had entered the apartment.
"Oh, meu Deus!" suspirou a velhinha, e estremeceu como se todos os ventos do céu tivessem entrado no aposento.
"Gentlemen sometimes do not realize—" Her voice faded away, but Miss Bartlett seemed to understand and a conversation developed, in which gentlemen who did not thoroughly realize played a principal part.
"Os cavalheiros às vezes não percebem—" Sua voz foi se apagando, mas a Srta. Bartlett pareceu compreender e uma conversa se desenvolveu, na qual cavalheiros que não percebiam completamente desempenhavam um papel principal.
