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:
Naquele momento, passos altos e firmes foram ouvidos no corredor; uma voz calorosa exclamou:
"Where's Light o' the Morning? Where have you hidden yourself, witch?"
"Onde está a Luz da Manhã? Onde você se escondeu, bruxa?"
"It's father," said Nora.
"É o pai", disse Nora.
She said the words with a sort of gasp of rejoicing, and the next moment had dashed out of the room.
Ela disse as palavras com uma espécie de suspiro de alegria, e no momento seguinte tinha saído correndo do quarto.
