Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 6
That horse is worth three hundred pounds, if she's worth a penny."
Aquele cavalo vale trezentas libras, se vale um centavo."
"Do you think I would?" said the girl reproachfully.
"Você acha que eu faria isso?" disse a moça em tom de reprovação.
"Now, dad, that is about the cruelest word you have said to your Nora for many a day."
"Ora, pai, essa é quase a palavra mais cruel que você disse à sua Nora em muito tempo."
"Come and give me a hug, colleen," said the Squire.
"Venha me dar um abraço, menina," disse o Escudeiro.
Nora ran to him, clasped her arms round his neck, and kissed him once or twice.
Nora correu até ele, enlaçou os braços em torno do seu pescoço e o beijou uma ou duas vezes.
He had moved away to the other end of the room, and now he looked her full in the face.
Ele havia se afastado para o outro extremo da sala, e agora a olhava diretamente no rosto.
"You are fretting about something?"
"Você está preocupada com alguma coisa?"
"Not I--not I," said the girl; but she flushed.
"Eu não — eu não," disse a moça; mas ela corou.
"Listen to me, colleen," said the Squire; "if it is that bit of a mortgage, you get it right out of your head.
"Ouça-me, menina," disse o Escudeiro; "se é aquela pequena hipoteca, tire isso imediatamente da sua cabeça.
It's not going to worry _me_.
Isso não vai me preocupar.
I am going this very evening to have a talk with Dan."
Vou esta mesma noite conversar com Dan."
"Oh, if it is Dan Murphy you owe it to," said the girl.
"Ah, se é a Dan Murphy que você deve," disse a moça.
"Ah, he's all right; he's the right sort; a chip of the old block--eh?
"Ah, ele está bem; ele é do tipo certo; tal pai, tal filho — não é?
He wouldn't be hard on a brother in adversity?"
Ele não seria severo com um irmão na adversidade?"
"He wouldn't if he could help it," said Nora; but the cloud had not left her sensitive face.
"Ele não seria, se pudesse evitar," disse Nora; mas a sombra não havia deixado seu rosto sensível.
Then, seeing that father looked at her with intense anxiety, she made a valiant effort.
Então, vendo que o pai a olhava com intensa ansiedade, ela fez um esforço valente.
"Of course, I believe in you," she said; "and, indeed, what does the loss of money matter while we are together?"
"Claro, eu acredito em você," ela disse; "e, de fato, que importa a perda de dinheiro enquanto estamos juntos?"
"Right you are! right you are!" said the Squire, with a laugh.
"Muito bem! muito bem!" disse o Escudeiro, com uma gargalhada.
