Peter Pan — Page 13
What she said in her lovely tinkle Wendy could not of course understand, and I believe some of it was bad words, but it sounded kind, and she flew back and forward, plainly meaning "Follow me, and all will be well."
Lo que dijo con su adorable tintineo Wendy no podía comprenderlo, por supuesto, y creo que parte de ello eran malas palabras, pero sonaba amable, y ella voló hacia atrás y hacia adelante, significando claramente «Sígueme, y todo irá bien».
What else could poor Wendy do?
¿Qué más podía hacer la pobre Wendy?
She called to Peter and John and Michael, and got only mocking echoes in reply.
Llamó a Peter, a John y a Michael, y solo obtuvo burlonas respuestas en eco.
She did not yet know that Tink hated her with the fierce hatred of a very woman.
Todavía no sabía que Tink la odiaba con el feroz odio propio de toda una mujer.
And so, bewildered, and now staggering in her flight, she followed Tink to her doom.
Y así, desconcertada, y tambaléandose ya en su vuelo, siguió a Tink hacia su perdición.
