"And you know what wittles is?"

"E você sabe o que são comes e bebes?"

"Yes, sir."

"Sim, senhor."

After each question he tilted me over a little more, so as to give me a greater sense of helplessness and danger.

Após cada pergunta, ele me inclinava um pouco mais, de modo a me dar uma sensação maior de desamparo e perigo.

"You get me a file." He tilted me again. "And you get me wittles." He tilted me again. "You bring 'em both to me." He tilted me again. "Or I'll have your heart and liver out." He tilted me again.

"Você me arranja uma lima." Ele me inclinou novamente. "E você me arranja comes e bebes." Ele me inclinou novamente. "Você me traz os dois." Ele me inclinou novamente. "Ou eu arranco seu coração e seu fígado." Ele me inclinou novamente.

I was dreadfully frightened, and so giddy that I clung to him with both hands, and said, "If you would kindly please to let me keep upright, sir, perhaps I shouldn't be sick, and perhaps I could attend more."

Eu estava terrivelmente assustado, e tão tonto que me agarrei a ele com as duas mãos, e disse: "Se o senhor tivesse a bondade de me deixar ficar de pé, talvez eu não ficasse enjoado, e talvez pudesse prestar mais atenção."

He gave me a most tremendous dip and roll, so that the church jumped over its own weathercock.

Ele me deu uma sacudida e uma guinada tremendas, de modo que a igreja pareceu saltar por cima do próprio catavento.

Then, he held me by the arms, in an upright position on the top of the stone, and went on in these fearful terms:—

Em seguida, ele me segurou pelos braços, em posição ereta no topo da pedra, e continuou nestes termos aterrorizantes:—

"You bring me, to-morrow morning early, that file and them wittles. You bring the lot to me, at that old Battery over yonder. You do it, and you never dare to say a word or dare to make a sign concerning your having seen such a person as me, or any person sumever, and you shall be let to live. You fail, or you go from my words in any partickler, no matter how small it is, and your heart and your liver shall be tore out, roasted, and ate.

"Você me traz, amanhã cedo pela manhã, aquela lima e esses comes e bebes. Você me traz tudo isso, naquela velha Bateria ali adiante. Você faz isso, e nunca se atreve a dizer uma palavra ou a fazer um sinal a respeito de ter visto uma pessoa como eu, ou qualquer pessoa seja lá quem for, e você será deixado viver. Você falha, ou se desvia das minhas palavras em qualquer particular, por menor que seja, e seu coração e seu fígado serão arrancados, assados e comidos.
