Peter Pan — Page 15

English → Spanish Chapter III. Level 4/10

"I warn you if you bark again I shall go straight for master and missus and bring them home from the party, and then, oh, won't master whip you, just."

«Te advierto que si vuelves a ladrar iré directamente a buscar al señor y a la señora y los traeré a casa de la fiesta, y entonces, oh, vaya si te azotará el señor.»

She tied the unhappy dog up again, but do you think Nana ceased to bark?

Volvió a atar a la desdichada perra, pero ¿acaso creen que Nana dejó de ladrar?

Bring master and missus home from the party!

¡Traer al señor y a la señora de vuelta de la fiesta!

Why, that was just what she wanted.

Pues bien, eso era exactamente lo que ella quería.

Do you think she cared whether she was whipped so long as her charges were safe?

¿Acaso les parece que le importaba que la azotaran con tal de que sus pupilos estuvieran a salvo?

Unfortunately Liza returned to her puddings, and Nana, seeing that no help would come from her, strained and strained at the chain until at last she broke it.

Por desgracia, Liza volvió a sus pudines, y Nana, al ver que de ella no vendría ayuda alguna, tiró y tiró de la cadena hasta que por fin la rompió.

In another moment she had burst into the dining-room of 27 and flung up her paws to heaven, her most expressive way of making a communication.

Un momento después había irrumpido en el comedor del número 27 y alzado las patas al cielo, su manera más expresiva de comunicar algo.

Mr. and Mrs. Darling knew at once that something terrible was happening in their nursery, and without a good-bye to their hostess they rushed into the street.

El señor y la señora Darling supieron de inmediato que algo terrible estaba ocurriendo en el cuarto de los niños, y sin despedirse de su anfitriona salieron corriendo a la calle.

But it was now ten minutes since three scoundrels had been breathing behind the curtains, and Peter Pan can do a great deal in ten minutes.

Pero ya habían pasado diez minutos desde que tres bribones se ocultaban respirando detrás de las cortinas, y Peter Pan puede hacer muchas cosas en diez minutos.

We now return to the nursery.

Regresemos ahora al cuarto de los niños.

"It's all right," John announced, emerging from his hiding-place.

«Todo está bien», anunció Juan, saliendo de su escondite.

"I say, Peter, can you really fly?"

«Oye, Peter, ¿de verdad puedes volar?»

Instead of troubling to answer him Peter flew around the room, taking the mantelpiece on the way.

En lugar de molestarse en responderle, Peter voló por toda la habitación, pasando por encima de la repisa de la chimenea de camino.

"How topping!" said John and Michael.

«¡Qué maravilla!», dijeron Juan y Miguel.

"How sweet!" cried Wendy.

«¡Qué encanto!», exclamó Wendy.

"Yes, I'm sweet, oh, I am sweet!" said Peter, forgetting his manners again.

«Sí, soy un encanto, ¡oh, soy todo un encanto!», dijo Peter, olvidando sus modales otra vez.
