Bleak House — Page 10
Tangle's learned friends, each armed with a little summary of eighteen hundred sheets, bob up like eighteen hammers in a pianoforte, make eighteen bows, and drop into their eighteen places of obscurity.
Os doutos colegas de Tangle, cada um armado com um pequeno resumo de mil e oitocentas folhas, surgem como dezoito martelos num pianoforte, fazem dezoito reverências e voltam aos seus dezoito lugares na obscuridade.
"We will proceed with the hearing on Wednesday fortnight," says the Chancellor.
"Prosseguiremos com a audiência na quarta-feira daqui a duas semanas", diz o Chanceler.
For the question at issue is only a question of costs, a mere bud on the forest tree of the parent suit, and really will come to a settlement one of these days.
Pois a questão em causa é apenas uma questão de custas, um mero broto na árvore frondosa do processo principal, e realmente chegará a um acordo num destes dias.
The Chancellor rises; the bar rises; the prisoner is brought forward in a hurry; the man from Shropshire cries, "My lord!"
O Chanceler levanta-se; a tribuna levanta-se; o prisioneiro é trazido à pressa; o homem de Shropshire exclama: "Meu senhor!"
Maces, bags, and purses indignantly proclaim silence and frown at the man from Shropshire.
Maças, bolsas e sacolas proclamam indignadas o silêncio e lançam olhares furiosos ao homem de Shropshire.
"In reference," proceeds the Chancellor, still on Jarndyce and Jarndyce, "to the young girl—"
"No que diz respeito", prossegue o Chanceler, ainda sobre Jarndyce e Jarndyce, "à rapariga—"
"Begludship's pardon—boy," says Mr. Tangle prematurely.
"Com a licença de Vossa Senhoria—rapaz", diz o Sr. Tangle prematuramente.
"In reference," proceeds the Chancellor with extra distinctness, "to the young girl and boy, the two young people"—Mr. Tangle crushed—"whom I directed to be in attendance to-day and who are now in my private room, I will see them and satisfy myself as to the expediency of making the order for their residing with their uncle."
"No que diz respeito", prossegue o Chanceler com clareza redobrada, "à rapariga e ao rapaz, aos dois jovens"—o Sr. Tangle esmagado—"a quem ordenei que comparecessem hoje e que se encontram agora no meu gabinete particular, irei recebê-los e certificar-me da conveniência de emitir a ordem para que residam com o seu tio."
Mr. Tangle on his legs again. "Begludship's pardon—dead."
O Sr. Tangle de pé novamente. "Com a licença de Vossa Senhoria—morto."
"With their"—Chancellor looking through his double eye-glass at the papers on his desk—"grandfather."
"Com o seu"—o Chanceler olhando através do seu monóculo duplo para os papéis sobre a secretária—"avô."
"Begludship's pardon—victim of rash action—brains."
"Com a licença de Vossa Senhoria—vítima de ação precipitada—miolos."
Suddenly a very little counsel with a terrific bass voice arises, fully inflated, in the back settlements of the fog, and says, "Will your lordship allow me? I appear for him.
De repente, um advogado muito pequeno com uma voz de baixo tremenda surge, completamente inflado, nos rincões mais recuados da névoa, e diz: "Permitirá Vossa Senhoria? Represento-o.
