English → Pt CHAPTER I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Surprised Level 6/10

"He doesn't generally go to town this time of year and he _never_ visits; if he'd run out of turnip seed he wouldn't dress up and take the buggy to go for more; he wasn't driving fast enough to be going for a doctor.

"Ele geralmente não vai à cidade nessa época do ano e _nunca_ faz visitas; se tivesse ficado sem sementes de nabo, não se vestiria e não pegaria a carruagem para ir buscar mais; não estava dirigindo rápido o suficiente para estar indo buscar um médico.

Yet something must have happened since last night to start him off.

No entanto, algo deve ter acontecido desde a noite passada para fazê-lo partir.

I'm clean puzzled, that's what, and I won't know a minute's peace of mind or conscience until I know what has taken Matthew Cuthbert out of Avonlea today."

Estou completamente intrigada, é o que é, e não terei um minuto de paz na mente ou na consciência até saber o que levou Matthew Cuthbert para fora de Avonlea hoje."

Accordingly after tea Mrs. Rachel set out; she had not far to go; the big, rambling, orchard-embowered house where the Cuthberts lived was a scant quarter of a mile up the road from Lynde's Hollow.

Assim sendo, após o chá, a Sra. Rachel saiu; ela não tinha muito caminho a percorrer; a grande e espaçosa casa, cercada de pomares, onde os Cuthbert moravam ficava a pouco mais de um quarto de milha pela estrada acima do Oco de Lynde.

To be sure, the long lane made it a good deal further.

É verdade que o longo caminho vicinal tornava a distância bem maior.

Matthew Cuthbert's father, as shy and silent as his son after him, had got as far away as he possibly could from his fellow men without actually retreating into the woods when he founded his homestead.

O pai de Matthew Cuthbert, tão tímido e silencioso quanto seu filho depois dele, havia se afastado o máximo possível de seus semelhantes sem de fato se refugiar nas matas quando fundou sua propriedade.

Green Gables was built at the furthest edge of his cleared land and there it was to this day, barely visible from the main road along which all the other Avonlea houses were so sociably situated.

Green Gables foi construída na extremidade mais distante de suas terras desmatadas e lá estava até hoje, mal visível da estrada principal ao longo da qual todas as outras casas de Avonlea estavam tão sociávelmente situadas.

Mrs. Rachel Lynde did not call living in such a place _living_ at all.

A Sra. Rachel Lynde não chamava de _viver_ de modo algum morar num lugar assim.

"It's just _staying_, that's what," she said as she stepped along the deep-rutted, grassy lane bordered with wild rose bushes.

"É apenas _ficar_, é o que é", disse ela enquanto caminhava pelo caminho vicinal com sulcos profundos, coberto de grama e ladeado por arbustos de rosas silvestres.
