Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 5
"Not a bit of it. My son shall either go to Old Trinity or he does without a university education. Cambridge or Oxford indeed! You forget, Ellen, that the lad is my son as well as yours."
"De jeito nenhum. Meu filho irá ou para a Velha Trinity ou ficará sem uma educação universitária. Cambridge ou Oxford, ora essa! Você esquece, Ellen, que o rapaz é meu filho assim como é seu."
"I don't; but he is half an Englishman, three parts an Englishman, whatever his fatherhood," said the Squire's wife in a tone of triumph.
"Não esqueço; mas ele é metade inglês, três quartos inglês, qualquer que seja sua paternidade", disse a esposa do Squire em tom de triunfo.
"Well, well! he is Terence O'Shanaghgan, for all that, and he will inherit this old place some day."
"Bem, bem! ele é Terence O'Shanaghgan, apesar de tudo, e ele vai herdar este velho lugar algum dia."
"Much there will be for him to inherit."
"Muito haverá para ele herdar."
Eager steps were heard on the gravel, and the next instant Nora entered by the open window.
Passos apressados foram ouvidos no cascalho, e no instante seguinte Nora entrou pela janela aberta.
"I have given the order," she said; "Angus will have the trap round in a quarter of an hour."
"Eu dei a ordem", disse ela; "Angus terá a charrete pronta em um quarto de hora."
"That's right, my girl; you didn't let time drag," said her father.
"Muito bem, minha filha; você não deixou o tempo arrastar", disse seu pai.
"Angus wants you and mother to be quite ready, for he says Black Bess is nearly off her head with spirit. Now, then, mother, shall I go upstairs and bring down your things?"
"Angus quer que você e mamãe estejam prontas, pois ele diz que a Bess Negra está quase fora de si de tanto ânimo. Então, mamãe, devo subir e trazer suas coisas?"
"I don't mind if you do, Nora; my back aches a good bit."
"Não me importo que o faça, Nora; minhas costas doem bastante."
"We'll put the air-cushion in the trap," said the Squire, who, notwithstanding her fine-lady airs, had a great respect and admiration for his wife. "We'll make you right cozy, Ellen, and a rattle through the air will do you a sight of good."
"Colocaremos a almofada de ar na charrete", disse o Squire, que, apesar dos ares de grande dama dela, tinha um grande respeito e admiração por sua esposa. "Deixaremos você bem confortável, Ellen, e um passeio rápido pelo ar lhe fará muito bem."
"May I drive, father?" said Nora.
"Posso dirigir, pai?" disse Nora.
"You, little one? Suppose you bring Black Bess down on her knees?
"Você, pequena? E se você fizer a Bess Negra cair de joelhos?
