Anne of Green Gables — Page 6

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

Its windows looked east and west; through the west one, looking out on the back yard, came a flood of mellow June sunlight; but the east one, whence you got a glimpse of the bloom white cherry-trees in the left orchard and nodding, slender birches down in the hollow by the brook, was greened over by a tangle of vines.

Suas janelas davam para o leste e para o oeste; pela do oeste, que olhava para o quintal dos fundos, entrava uma onda de suave luz solar de junho; mas a do leste, de onde se vislumbravam as cerejeiras brancas em flor no pomar da esquerda e os bétulas esguias a acenar no vale junto ao riacho, estava coberta de verde por um emaranhado de trepadeiras.

Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, always slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously; and here she sat now, knitting, and the table behind her was laid for supper.

Aqui sentava-se Marilla Cuthbert, quando se sentava, sempre ligeiramente desconfiada da luz do sol, que lhe parecia uma coisa demasiado dançante e irresponsável para um mundo que devia ser levado a sério; e aqui ela estava sentada agora, tricotando, e a mesa atrás dela estava posta para o jantar.

Mrs. Rachel, before she had fairly closed the door, had taken a mental note of everything that was on that table.

A senhora Rachel, antes mesmo de ter fechado bem a porta, havia tomado nota mental de tudo o que estava sobre aquela mesa.

There were three plates laid, so that Marilla must be expecting some one home with Matthew to tea; but the dishes were everyday dishes and there was only crab-apple preserves and one kind of cake, so that the expected company could not be any particular company.

Havia três pratos postos, pelo que Marilla devia estar à espera de alguém em casa com Matthew para o chá; mas as louças eram as do dia a dia e havia apenas compota de maçã silvestre e um tipo de bolo, pelo que a visita esperada não podia ser nenhuma visita especial.

Yet what of Matthew's white collar and the sorrel mare?

Mas então o que dizer do colarinho branco de Matthew e da égua alazã?

Mrs. Rachel was getting fairly dizzy with this unusual mystery about quiet, unmysterious Green Gables.

A senhora Rachel estava ficando bastante tonta com este mistério incomum em torno da quieta e nada misteriosa Green Gables.

"Good evening, Rachel," Marilla said briskly. "This is a real fine evening, isn't it? Won't you sit down? How are all your folks?"

"Boa noite, Rachel", disse Marilla animadamente. "Esta é uma noite realmente bela, não é? Não vai se sentar? Como estão todos os seus?"

Something that for lack of any other name might be called friendship existed and always had existed between Marilla Cuthbert and Mrs.

Algo que, por falta de outro nome, poderia ser chamado de amizade existia e sempre havia existido entre Marilla Cuthbert e a senhora
