Great Expectations — Page 3
That's what she did," said Joe, slowly clearing the fire between the lower bars with the poker, and looking at it; "she Ram-paged out, Pip."
Foi o que ela fez," disse Joe, lentamente removendo as brasas entre as barras inferiores com o atiçador, e olhando para elas; "ela Saiu em Fúria, Pip."
"Has she been gone long, Joe?" I always treated him as a larger species of child, and as no more than my equal.
"Ela foi há muito tempo, Joe?" Eu sempre o tratava como uma espécie maior de criança, e como nada mais do que meu igual.
"Well," said Joe, glancing up at the Dutch clock, "she's been on the Ram-page, this last spell, about five minutes, Pip.
"Bom," disse Joe, lançando um olhar para o relógio holandês, "ela está em Fúria, neste último período, há cerca de cinco minutos, Pip.
She's a-coming! Get behind the door, old chap, and have the jack-towel betwixt you."
Ela está a chegar! Esconde-te atrás da porta, meu velho, e coloca a toalha de rolo entre vocês."
I took the advice.
Segui o conselho.
My sister, Mrs. Joe, throwing the door wide open, and finding an obstruction behind it, immediately divined the cause, and applied Tickler to its further investigation.
Minha irmã, a Sra. Joe, abrindo a porta de par em par, e encontrando um obstáculo atrás dela, imediatamente adivinhou a causa, e aplicou o Tickler à sua investigação mais aprofundada.
She concluded by throwing me—I often served as a connubial missile—at Joe, who, glad to get hold of me on any terms, passed me on into the chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great leg.
Ela concluiu atirando-me — eu frequentemente servia como um projétil conjugal — em direção a Joe, que, feliz em me segurar de qualquer forma, me empurrou para dentro da chaminé e silenciosamente me cercou ali com sua grande perna.
"Where have you been, you young monkey?" said Mrs. Joe, stamping her foot.
"Onde você esteve, seu pequeno macaco?" disse a Sra. Joe, batendo o pé.
"Tell me directly what you've been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit, or I'd have you out of that corner if you was fifty Pips, and he was five hundred Gargerys."
"Diga-me imediatamente o que você esteve fazendo para me consumir com angústia e medo e preocupação, ou eu o tiraria daquele canto mesmo que você fosse cinquenta Pips, e ele fosse quinhentos Gargerys."
"I have only been to the churchyard," said I, from my stool, crying and rubbing myself.
"Eu fui apenas ao cemitério," disse eu, do meu banquinho, chorando e me esfregando.
"Churchyard!" repeated my sister.
"Cemitério!" repetiu minha irmã.
"If it warn't for me you'd have been to the churchyard long ago, and stayed there.
"Se não fosse por mim, você já teria ido ao cemitério há muito tempo, e lá teria ficado.
Who brought you up by hand?
