Coniston — Volume 01 — Page 13
Don't know as I'd understand it," he demurred.
Não sei se eu entenderia," ele objetou.
"I'll try to explain what you don't understand," said Cynthia, and her heart gave a bound at the very idea.
"Vou tentar explicar o que você não entender," disse Cynthia, e seu coração deu um salto só de pensar nisso.
"Will You?" he said, looking at her eagerly. "Will you? You mean it?"
"Vai mesmo?" ele disse, olhando para ela ansiosamente. "Vai mesmo? Está falando sério?"
"Certainly," she answered, and blushed, not knowing why.
"Certamente," ela respondeu, e corou, sem saber por quê.
"I-I must be going," and she gathered up the reins.
"Eu-eu preciso ir," e ela pegou as rédeas.
"When will you give it to me?"
"Quando vai me dar o livro?"
"I'll stop at the tannery when I come back from Brampton," she said, and drove on.
"Vou parar na curtumeira quando voltar de Brampton," ela disse, e seguiu em frente.
Once she gave a fleeting glance over her shoulder, and he was still standing where she had left him.
Por um momento ela lançou um olhar furtivo por cima do ombro, e ele ainda estava parado onde ela o havia deixado.
When she returned, in the yellow afternoon light that flowed over wood and pasture, he came out of the tannery door.
Quando ela voltou, à luz amarela da tarde que se derramava sobre bosques e pastagens, ele saiu pela porta da curtumeira.
Jake Wheeler or Speedy Bates, the journeyman tailoress, from whom little escaped, could not have said it was by design--thought nothing, indeed, of that part of it.
Jake Wheeler ou Speedy Bates, a costureira ambulante, a quem pouca coisa escapava, não poderia ter dito que foi proposital — na verdade, não deu importância alguma a essa parte.
"As I live!" cried Speedy from the window to Aunt Lucy Prescott in the bed, "if Cynthy ain't givin' him a book as big as the Bible!"
"Juro por minha vida!" gritou Speedy da janela para a Tia Lucy Prescott, que estava na cama, "a Cynthy está dando a ele um livro tão grande quanto a Bíblia!"
Aunt Lucy hoped, first, that it was the Bible, and second, that Jethro would read it.
A Tia Lucy esperava, primeiro, que fosse a Bíblia, e segundo, que Jethro a lesse.
Aunt Lucy, and Established Church Coniston in general, believed in snatching brands from the burning, and who so deft as Cynthia at this kind of snatching!
A Tia Lucy, e a Igreja Estabelecida de Coniston em geral, acreditavam em salvar almas da perdição, e quem seria tão hábil quanto Cynthia nesse tipo de salvação!
So Cynthia herself was a hypocrite for once, and did not know it.
Assim, a própria Cynthia foi hipócrita por uma vez, sem o saber.
At that time Jethro's sins were mostly of omission.
Naquela época, os pecados de Jethro eram em sua maioria pecados de omissão.
