"I will bring you the interest for another month; wait a little."
"Eu trarei os juros de mais um mês; espere um pouco."
"But that's for me to do as I please, my good sir, to wait or to sell your pledge at once."
"Mas isso é para eu fazer como me aprouver, meu bom senhor, esperar ou vender seu penhor imediatamente."
"How much will you give me for the watch, Alyona Ivanovna?"
"Quanto a senhora me dará pelo relógio, Alyona Ivanovna?"
"You come with such trifles, my good sir, it's scarcely worth anything.
"O senhor vem com essas ninharias, meu bom senhor, mal vale alguma coisa.
I gave you two roubles last time for your ring and one could buy it quite new at a jeweler's for a rouble and a half."
Da última vez lhe dei dois rublos pelo seu anel, e seria possível comprá-lo novo numa joalheria por um rublo e meio."
"Give me four roubles for it, I shall redeem it, it was my father's.
"Dê-me quatro rublos por ele, vou resgatá-lo, era de meu pai.
I shall be getting some money soon."
Receberei algum dinheiro em breve."
"A rouble and a half, and interest in advance, if you like!"
"Um rublo e meio, e os juros adiantados, se quiser!"
"A rouble and a half!" cried the young man.
"Um rublo e meio!" exclamou o jovem.
"Please yourself"--and the old woman handed him back the watch.
"Como quiser"-- e a velha lhe devolveu o relógio.
The young man took it, and was so angry that he was on the point of going away; but checked himself at once, remembering that there was nowhere else he could go, and that he had had another object also in coming.
O jovem o pegou e ficou tão furioso que estava prestes a ir embora; mas se conteve imediatamente, lembrando-se de que não havia outro lugar para onde ir, e que tinha também outro objetivo ao vir.
"Hand it over," he said roughly.
"Entregue-o," disse ele rispidamente.
The old woman fumbled in her pocket for her keys, and disappeared behind the curtain into the other room.
A velha remexeu no bolso à procura das chaves e desapareceu atrás da cortina no outro quarto.
The young man, left standing alone in the middle of the room, listened inquisitively, thinking.
O jovem, que ficou sozinho de pé no meio do quarto, ouvia com curiosidade, pensando.
He could hear her unlocking the chest of drawers.
Ele conseguia ouvi-la destrancar a cômoda.
"It must be the top drawer," he reflected.
"Deve ser a gaveta de cima," ele refletiu.
