Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 9
Aid was near him: Eliza and Georgiana had run for Mrs. Reed, who was gone upstairs: she now came upon the scene, followed by Bessie and her maid Abbot.
La ayuda estaba cerca de él: Eliza y Georgiana habían ido corriendo a buscar a la señora Reed, que había subido arriba: ella apareció ahora en la escena, seguida de Bessie y su doncella Abbot.
We were parted: I heard the words—
Nos separaron: escuché las palabras—
"Dear! dear! What a fury to fly at Master John!"
"¡Dios mío! ¡Dios mío! ¡Qué furia abalanzarse así sobre el joven John!"
"Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!"
"¡Jamás nadie vio semejante imagen de pasión!"
Then Mrs. Reed subjoined—
Entonces la señora Reed añadió—
"Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there."
"Llévenla al cuarto rojo y enciérrenla allí dentro."
Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was borne upstairs.
Cuatro manos se posaron de inmediato sobre mí, y fui llevada escaleras arriba.
