Harrigan — Page 4

English → Pt CHAPTER 1 Level 4/10

For answer he dragged a crimson carnation from the buttonhole of a tall man who stood at his side.

Como resposta, ele arrancou um cravo carmesim da casa de botão de um homem alto que estava ao seu lado.

"What in hell--" began the victim, but Harrigan smiled and the other drew slowly back through the crowd.

"O que diabos--" começou a vítima, mas Harrigan sorriu e o outro recuou lentamente pela multidão.

"Now send them away."

"Agora os mande embora."

She looked at him an instant longer with a light coming slowly up behind her eyes.

Ela o olhou por mais um instante com uma luz surgindo lentamente por trás de seus olhos.

Then she leaned out and waved to the chuckling semicircle.

Então ela se inclinou para fora e acenou para o semicírculo que ria baixinho.

"Run away for a while," she said; "I want to talk to my brother."

"Afastem-se por um momento", ela disse; "quero falar com meu irmão."

She patted the thick red hair to emphasize the relationship, and the little crowd departed, laughing uproariously.

Ela afagou o cabelo ruivo e espesso para enfatizar o parentesco, e a pequena multidão se dispersou, gargalhando.

Harrigan slipped the carnation into the jetty hair.

Harrigan deslizou o cravo entre os cabelos negros como azeviche.

His hand lingered a moment against the soft masses, and she drew it down, grown suddenly serious.

Sua mão demorou um momento sobre as macias madeixas, e ela a puxou para baixo, tornando-se subitamente séria.

"There are three policemen in the shadow of that cottage over there. They're watching you."

"Há três policiais à sombra daquela cabana ali. Estão de olho em você."

"Ah-h!"

The sound was so soft that it was almost a sigh, but she shivered perceptibly.

O som era tão suave que era quase um suspiro, mas ela estremeceu visivelmente.

"What have you been doing?"

"O que você tem feito?"

He answered regretfully: "Nothing."

Ele respondeu com pesar: "Nada."

"They're coming this way. The man who had the carnation is with them. You better beat it."

"Estão vindo por aqui. O homem que tinha o cravo está com eles. É melhor você se mandar."

"Nope. I like it here."

"Não. Estou bem aqui."

She shook her head, but the flame was blowing high now in her eyes.

Ela balançou a cabeça, mas a chama ardia alta agora em seus olhos.

A hand fell on Harrigan's shoulder.

Uma mão pousou no ombro de Harrigan.

"Hey!" said the sergeant in a loud voice.

"Ei!" disse o sargento em voz alta.

Harrigan turned slowly and the sergeant's hand fell away.

Harrigan virou-se lentamente e a mão do sargento se afastou.

The man of the carnation was far in the background.

O homem do cravo estava bem ao fundo.

"Well?"

"Bem?"

"That flower.

"Aquela flor.
