Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 7
At that moment loud, strong steps were heard in the hall; a hearty voice exclaimed:
En ese momento se escucharon pasos fuertes y resonantes en el pasillo; una voz cordial exclamó:
"Where's Light o' the Morning? Where have you hidden yourself, witch?"
«¿Dónde está la Luz de la Mañana? ¿Dónde te has escondido, bruja?»
"It's father," said Nora.
«Es papá», dijo Nora.
She said the words with a sort of gasp of rejoicing, and the next moment had dashed out of the room.
Pronunció las palabras con una especie de suspiro de alegría, y al momento siguiente había salido disparada de la habitación.
