"You did," said I.

"Você fez isso," disse eu.

"And why did I do it, I should like to know?" exclaimed my sister.

"E por que eu fiz isso, eu gostaria de saber?" exclamou minha irmã.

I whimpered, "I don't know."

Eu choraminguei, "Eu não sei."

"_I_ don't!" said my sister.

"_Eu_ não sei!" disse minha irmã.

"I'd never do it again! I know that.

"Eu nunca faria isso de novo! Eu sei disso.

I may truly say I've never had this apron of mine off since born you were.

Posso dizer com verdade que nunca tirei este meu avental desde que você nasceu.

It's bad enough to be a blacksmith's wife (and him a Gargery) without being your mother."

Já é difícil o suficiente ser esposa de um ferreiro (e ele um Gargery) sem ser sua mãe."

My thoughts strayed from that question as I looked disconsolately at the fire.

Meus pensamentos se desviaram dessa questão enquanto eu olhava desconsoladamente para o fogo.

For the fugitive out on the marshes with the ironed leg, the mysterious young man, the file, the food, and the dreadful pledge I was under to commit a larceny on those sheltering premises, rose before me in the avenging coals.

Pois o fugitivo lá nos pântanos com a perna acorrentada, o misterioso jovem, a lima, a comida, e o terrível compromisso que eu tinha de cometer um furto naquelas instalações que me abrigavam, surgiram diante de mim nas brasas vingativas.

"Hah!" said Mrs. Joe, restoring Tickler to his station.

"Ah!" disse a Sra. Joe, devolvendo o Tickler ao seu lugar.

"Churchyard, indeed! You may well say churchyard, you two."

"Cemitério, de fato! Podem bem dizer cemitério, vocês dois."

One of us, by the by, had not said it at all.

Um de nós, aliás, não havia dito isso de forma alguma.

"You'll drive _me_ to the churchyard betwixt you, one of these days, and O, a pr-r-recious pair you'd be without me!"

"Vocês vão me levar ao cemitério entre os dois, um dia desses, e oh, que par pr-r-recioso vocês seriam sem mim!"

As she applied herself to set the tea-things, Joe peeped down at me over his leg, as if he were mentally casting me and himself up, and calculating what kind of pair we practically should make, under the grievous circumstances foreshadowed.

Enquanto ela se dedicava a preparar o serviço de chá, Joe espiou para mim por cima de sua perna, como se estivesse mentalmente nos avaliando a mim e a ele mesmo, e calculando que tipo de par nós praticamente formaríamos, sob as penosas circunstâncias presagiadas.

After that, he sat feeling his right-side flaxen curls and whisker, and following Mrs. Joe about with his blue eyes, as his manner always was at squally times.

Depois disso, ele ficou sentado apalpando seus cachos e costeletas louras do lado direito, e seguindo a Sra. Joe com seus olhos azuis, como era sempre seu costume em tempos tempestuosos.
