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.
L'aiuto era vicino a lui: Eliza e Georgiana erano corse dalla signora Reed, che era salita di sopra: ora arrivò sulla scena, seguita da Bessie e dalla sua cameriera Abbot.
We were parted: I heard the words—
Fummo separati: udii le parole—
"Dear! dear! What a fury to fly at Master John!"
«Dio mio! Dio mio! Che furia per scagliarsi contro il giovane John!»
"Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!"
«Ha mai visto qualcuno un tale ritratto di furia!»
Then Mrs. Reed subjoined—
Poi la signora Reed aggiunse—
"Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there."
«Portatela via nella stanza rossa, e chiudetela a chiave lì dentro.»
Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was borne upstairs.
Quattro mani mi afferrarono immediatamente, e fui portata di sopra.
