"So she carries the keys in a pocket on the right.
"Então ela carrega as chaves num bolso à direita.
All in one bunch on a steel ring....
Todas num só molho num anel de aço....
And there's one key there, three times as big as all the others, with deep notches;
E há uma chave lá, três vezes maior que todas as outras, com entalhes profundos;
that can't be the key of the chest of drawers...
essa não pode ser a chave da cômoda...
then there must be some other chest or strong-box...
então deve haver algum outro baú ou cofre...
that's worth knowing.
isso vale saber.
Strong-boxes always have keys like that...
Cofres sempre têm chaves assim...
but how degrading it all is."
mas como tudo isso é degradante."
The old woman came back.
A velha voltou.
"Here, sir: as we say ten copecks the rouble a month, so I must take fifteen copecks from a rouble and a half for the month in advance.
"Aqui está, senhor: como cobramos dez copeques por rublo ao mês, devo então cobrar quinze copeques por um rublo e meio pelo mês adiantado.
But for the two roubles I lent you before, you owe me now twenty copecks on the same reckoning in advance.
Mas pelos dois rublos que lhe emprestei antes, o senhor me deve agora vinte copeques pelo mesmo cálculo adiantado.
That makes thirty-five copecks altogether.
Isso dá trinta e cinco copeques ao todo.
So I must give you a rouble and fifteen copecks for the watch.
Portanto, devo dar-lhe um rublo e quinze copeques pelo relógio.
Here it is."
Aqui está."
"What! only a rouble and fifteen copecks now!"
"Como! apenas um rublo e quinze copeques agora!"
"Just so."
"Exatamente."
The young man did not dispute it and took the money.
O jovem não contestou e pegou o dinheiro.
He looked at the old woman, and was in no hurry to get away, as though there was still something he wanted to say or to do, but he did not himself quite know what.
Ele olhou para a velha e não tinha pressa em ir embora, como se ainda houvesse algo que quisesse dizer ou fazer, mas ele mesmo não sabia bem o quê.
"I may be bringing you something else in a day or two, Alyona Ivanovna--a valuable thing--silver--a cigarette-box, as soon as I get it back from a friend..."
"Posso estar trazendo outra coisa daqui a um ou dois dias, Alyona Ivanovna -- uma coisa valiosa -- de prata -- uma cigarreira, assim que a recuperar de um amigo..."
he broke off in confusion.
ele interrompeu-se em confusão.
"Well, we will talk about it then, sir.
"Bem, conversaremos sobre isso então, senhor.
