Great Expectations — Page 2
She made it a powerful merit in herself, and a strong reproach against Joe, that she wore this apron so much.
Ela considerava um grande mérito em si mesma, e uma forte reprovação contra Joe, o fato de usar tanto este avental.
Though I really see no reason why she should have worn it at all; or why, if she did wear it at all, she should not have taken it off, every day of her life.
Embora eu realmente não veja razão alguma pela qual ela devesse tê-lo usado; ou por que, se o usava, não o tirava, todos os dias de sua vida.
Joe's forge adjoined our house, which was a wooden house, as many of the dwellings in our country were,—most of them, at that time.
A forja de Joe ficava contígua à nossa casa, que era uma casa de madeira, como eram muitas das habitações em nossa região — a maioria delas, naquela época.
When I ran home from the churchyard, the forge was shut up, and Joe was sitting alone in the kitchen.
Quando corri do cemitério para casa, a forja estava fechada, e Joe estava sentado sozinho na cozinha.
Joe and I being fellow-sufferers, and having confidences as such, Joe imparted a confidence to me, the moment I raised the latch of the door and peeped in at him opposite to it, sitting in the chimney corner.
Joe e eu sendo companheiros de sofrimento, e tendo confidências como tais, Joe me transmitiu uma confidência, no momento em que levantei o trinco da porta e espirei para ele do lado oposto, sentado no canto da lareira.
"Mrs. Joe has been out a dozen times, looking for you, Pip. And she's out now, making it a baker's dozen."
"A senhora Joe saiu uma dúzia de vezes, à sua procura, Pip. E está fora agora, fazendo uma dúzia de treze."
"Is she?"
"É mesmo?"
"Yes, Pip," said Joe; "and what's worse, she's got Tickler with her."
"Sim, Pip," disse Joe; "e o que é pior, ela está com o Tickler."
At this dismal intelligence, I twisted the only button on my waistcoat round and round, and looked in great depression at the fire.
Com esta sombria notícia, fiquei girando o único botão do meu colete, e olhei com grande abatimento para o fogo.
Tickler was a wax-ended piece of cane, worn smooth by collision with my tickled frame.
O Tickler era um pedaço de cana com ponta de cera, gasto e liso pelas colisões com meu corpo cócegas.
"She sot down," said Joe, "and she got up, and she made a grab at Tickler, and she Ram-paged out.
"Ela se sentou," disse Joe, "e ela se levantou, e ela agarrou o Tickler, e saiu em fúria.
