Then a good-humored and rather pitiful smile showed itself on his handsome face.

Então um sorriso bem-humorado e um tanto lastimoso apareceu em seu rosto bonito.

"Eh, Matvey?" he said, shaking his head.

"Eh, Matvey?" disse ele, balançando a cabeça.

"It's all right, sir; she will come round," said Matvey.

"Está tudo bem, senhor; ela vai se acalmar", disse Matvey.

"Come round?"

"Se acalmar?"

"Yes, sir."

"Sim, senhor."

"Do you think so? Who's there?" asked Stepan Arkadyevitch, hearing the rustle of a woman's dress at the door.

"Você acha? Quem está aí?" perguntou Stepan Arkadyevitch, ouvindo o farfalhar de um vestido feminino à porta.

"It's I," said a firm, pleasant, woman's voice, and the stern, pockmarked face of Matrona Philimonovna, the nurse, was thrust in at the doorway.

"Sou eu", disse uma voz feminina firme e agradável, e o rosto severo e marcado de bexiga de Matrona Philimonovna, a ama, apareceu na entrada.

"Well, what is it, Matrona?" queried Stepan Arkadyevitch, going up to her at the door.

"Bem, o que é, Matrona?" perguntou Stepan Arkadyevitch, aproximando-se dela à porta.

Although Stepan Arkadyevitch was completely in the wrong as regards his wife, and was conscious of this himself, almost everyone in the house (even the nurse, Darya Alexandrovna's chief ally) was on his side.

Embora Stepan Arkadyevitch estivesse completamente errado em relação à sua esposa, e estivesse ele próprio ciente disso, quase todos na casa (até mesmo a ama, a principal aliada de Darya Alexandrovna) estavam do seu lado.

"Well, what now?" he asked disconsolately.

"Bem, o que é agora?" perguntou ele desconsoladamente.

"Go to her, sir; own your fault again. Maybe God will aid you. She is suffering so, it's sad to see her; and besides, everything in the house is topsy-turvy. You must have pity, sir, on the children. Beg her forgiveness, sir. There's no help for it! One must take the consequences...."

"Vá até ela, senhor; reconheça sua culpa novamente. Talvez Deus o ajude. Ela está sofrendo tanto, dá pena vê-la; e além disso, tudo na casa está de pernas para o ar. O senhor deve ter pena das crianças, senhor. Peça-lhe perdão, senhor. Não há outra saída! É preciso arcar com as consequências...."

"But she won't see me."

"Mas ela não quer me ver."

"You do your part. God is merciful; pray to God, sir, pray to God."

"Faça a sua parte. Deus é misericordioso; reze a Deus, senhor, reze a Deus."

"Come, that'll do, you can go," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, blushing suddenly.

"Chega, já basta, pode ir", disse Stepan Arkadyevitch, corando de repente.

"Well now, do dress me." He turned to Matvey and threw off his dressing-gown decisively.

"Agora, vista-me." Ele se virou para Matvey e tirou o roupão decisivamente.
