Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 9

English → Pt CHAPTER I Level 7/10

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.

O socorro estava perto dele: Eliza e Georgiana tinham corrido para chamar a senhora Reed, que havia subido as escadas: ela apareceu agora na cena, seguida de Bessie e de sua criada Abbot.

We were parted: I heard the words—

Fomos separados: ouvi as palavras—

"Dear! dear! What a fury to fly at Master John!"

"Meu Deus! meu Deus! Que fúria para se atirar sobre o senhor John!"

"Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!"

"Alguém já viu tal imagem de fúria!"

Then Mrs. Reed subjoined—

Então a senhora Reed acrescentou—

"Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there."

"Levem-na para o quarto vermelho, e a tranquem lá dentro."

Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was borne upstairs.

Quatro mãos foram imediatamente postas sobre mim, e fui carregada escadas acima.
