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

But reflecting that it would be a good two hours at least before his arrival she concluded to go up the road to Robert Bell's and tell the news.

Mas refletindo que seriam pelo menos umas boas duas horas antes de sua chegada, ela concluiu ir pela estrada até a casa de Robert Bell e contar a novidade.

It would certainly make a sensation second to none, and Mrs. Rachel dearly loved to make a sensation.

Certamente causaria uma sensação sem igual, e a senhora Rachel adorava causar sensação.

So she took herself away, somewhat to Marilla's relief, for the latter felt her doubts and fears reviving under the influence of Mrs. Rachel's pessimism.

Então ela foi embora, com algum alívio de Marilla, pois esta sentiu suas dúvidas e temores renascerem sob a influência do pessimismo da senhora Rachel.

"Well, of all things that ever were or will be!" ejaculated Mrs. Rachel when she was safely out in the lane.

"Bem, de todas as coisas que já foram ou serão!" exclamou a senhora Rachel quando estava seguramente fora na viela.

"It does really seem as if I must be dreaming.

"Parece mesmo que devo estar sonhando.

Well, I'm sorry for that poor young one and no mistake.

Bem, tenho pena daquele pobre jovem e não é engano.

Matthew and Marilla don't know anything about children and they'll expect him to be wiser and steadier than his own grandfather, if so be's he ever had a grandfather, which is doubtful.

Matthew e Marilla não sabem nada sobre crianças e vão esperar que ele seja mais sábio e mais estável do que o próprio avô, se é que alguma vez teve um avô, o que é duvidoso.

It seems uncanny to think of a child at Green Gables somehow; there's never been one there, for Matthew and Marilla were grown up when the new house was built--if they ever _were_ children, which is hard to believe when one looks at them.

Parece estranho pensar em uma criança em Green Gables de alguma forma; nunca houve uma lá, pois Matthew e Marilla já eram adultos quando a nova casa foi construída — se é que alguma vez _foram_ crianças, o que é difícil de acreditar quando se olha para eles.

I wouldn't be in that orphan's shoes for anything.

Não estaria no lugar daquele órfão por nada neste mundo.

My, but I pity him, that's what."

Puxa, mas eu tenho pena dele, é isso."

So said Mrs.

Assim disse a senhora.
