English → Pt CHAPTER II. Level 4/10

"Well, not exactly, Pat; but you cannot expect me to keep all our troubles to ourselves. There's that mortgage, you know."

"Bem, não exatamente, Pat; mas você não pode esperar que eu guarde todos os nossos problemas para nós mesmos. Há aquela hipoteca, sabe."

"Bother the mortgage!" said the Squire. "Why do you harp on things the way you do? I'll manage it right enough. I am going round to see Dan Murphy now; he won't be hard on an old friend."

"Que se dane a hipoteca!" disse o Escudeiro. "Por que você fica insistindo nas coisas desse jeito? Eu vou resolver isso muito bem. Estou indo ver Dan Murphy agora; ele não vai ser duro com um velho amigo."

"Yes; but have you not to pay up?"

"Sim; mas você não tem que pagar?"

"Some day, I suppose."

"Um dia, suponho."

"Now listen, Patrick. Do be reasonable. Whenever I speak of money you fight shy of the subject."

"Agora ouça, Patrick. Seja razoável. Sempre que eu falo de dinheiro você evita o assunto."

"I don't--I don't," said the Squire restlessly; "but I am dead tired. I have had a ride of thirty miles; I want my tea. Where is Nora? Do you mind my calling her? She'll order Pegeen to bring the tea here."

"Não faço isso--não faço," disse o Escudeiro inquieto; "mas estou completamente exausto. Percorri trinta milhas a cavalo; quero meu chá. Onde está Nora? Você se importa se eu chamá-la? Ela vai mandar a Pegeen trazer o chá aqui."

"No; I won't have it. We'll have tea in the dining room presently. I thought you objected to afternoon tea."

"Não; não vou permitir isso. Tomaremos chá na sala de jantar em breve. Eu pensava que você era contra o chá da tarde."

"So I do, as a rule; but I am mighty dhry--thirsty, I mean, Ellen. Well, all the better; I'll get more to drink in the dining room. Order the tea as soon as you please."

"De fato, em geral; mas estou com uma sede enorme--com sede, quero dizer, Ellen. Bem, tanto melhor; terei mais para beber na sala de jantar. Peça o chá quando quiser."

"Ring the bell, Patrick."

"Toque o sino, Patrick."

The Squire strode to the mantelpiece, pulled a bell-cord which hung from the ceiling, a distant bell was heard ringing in noisy fashion, and a moment afterward Pegeen put in her head.

O Escudeiro caminhou a passos largos até a lareira, puxou um cordão de sino que pendia do teto, ouviu-se um sino distante tocando de forma barulhenta, e um momento depois Pegeen enfiou a cabeça pela porta.

"Come right in, Margaret," said her mistress.

"Entre, Margaret," disse sua senhora.

"Aw! then, I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot," said the girl.

"Ah! então, sinto muito, senhora, esqueci," disse a garota.
