Is it six calendar or six lunar months?"

São seis meses do calendário ou seis meses lunares?"

"It is the last day of September now, and it was the first of April when uncle gave them to you.

"Hoje é o último dia de setembro, e foi no primeiro de abril que o tio os deu a você.

You know, he said that he had forgotten them till then.

Você sabe, ele disse que os tinha esquecido até então.

I believe you have never thought of them since you locked them up in the cabinet here."

Acredito que você nunca mais pensou neles desde que os trancou no armário aqui."

"Well, dear, we should never wear them, you know."

"Bem, querida, nós nunca os usaríamos, você sabe."

Dorothea spoke in a full cordial tone, half caressing, half explanatory.

Dorothea falou em um tom plenamente cordial, metade afetuoso, metade explicativo.

She had her pencil in her hand, and was making tiny side-plans on a margin.

Ela tinha seu lápis na mão e fazia pequenos esboços laterais numa margem.

Celia colored, and looked very grave.

Celia corou e ficou com uma expressão muito séria.

"I think, dear, we are wanting in respect to mamma's memory, to put them by and take no notice of them.

"Acho, querida, que estamos faltando com o respeito à memória de mamãe ao deixá-los de lado e não lhes dar atenção.

And," she added, after hesitating a little, with a rising sob of mortification, "necklaces are quite usual now; and Madame Poincon, who was stricter in some things even than you are, used to wear ornaments.

E," ela acrescentou, após hesitar um pouco, com um soluço crescente de mortificação, "colares são bastante comuns agora; e Madame Poincon, que era mais rígida em certas coisas até do que você, costumava usar ornamentos.

And Christians generally—surely there are women in heaven now who wore jewels."

E os cristãos em geral — certamente há mulheres no céu agora que usaram joias."

Celia was conscious of some mental strength when she really applied herself to argument.

Celia sentia certa força mental quando realmente se dedicava a argumentar.

"You would like to wear them?" exclaimed Dorothea, an air of astonished discovery animating her whole person with a dramatic action which she had caught from that very Madame Poincon who wore the ornaments.

"Você gostaria de usá-los?" exclamou Dorothea, um ar de descoberta espantada animando toda a sua pessoa com uma ação dramática que ela havia captado da própria Madame Poincon que usava os ornamentos.

"Of course, then, let us have them out.

"Claro, então, vamos tirá-los.

Why did you not tell me before?

Por que você não me disse antes?

But the keys, the keys!

Mas as chaves, as chaves!
