Peter Pan — Page 2
He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss.
Ele conseguiu tudo dela, exceto a caixinha mais interior e o beijo.
He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss.
Ele nunca soube da caixinha, e com o tempo desistiu de tentar conseguir o beijo.
Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.
Wendy achava que Napoleão poderia tê-lo conseguido, mas consigo imaginá-lo tentando, e depois saindo furioso, batendo a porta.
Mr. Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him.
O Sr. Darling costumava gabar-se para Wendy de que a mãe dela não só o amava como também o respeitava.
He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares.
Ele era um daqueles homens profundos que entendem de ações e títulos.
Of course no one really knows, but he quite seemed to know, and he often said stocks were up and shares were down in a way that would have made any woman respect him.
Claro que ninguém realmente sabe, mas ele parecia saber muito bem, e frequentemente dizia que as ações estavam em alta e os títulos em baixa de um modo que faria qualquer mulher respeitá-lo.
Mrs. Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a Brussels sprout was missing; but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces.
A Sra. Darling casou-se de branco, e no início ela mantinha os livros de contas perfeitamente, quase alegremente, como se fosse um jogo, sem que faltasse sequer uma couve-de-bruxelas; mas aos poucos couves-flores inteiras desapareceram, e em seu lugar havia desenhos de bebês sem rosto.
She drew them when she should have been totting up.
Ela os desenhava quando deveria estar somando as contas.
They were Mrs. Darling's guesses.
Eram as suposições da Sra. Darling.
Wendy came first, then John, then Michael.
Wendy veio primeiro, depois John, depois Michael.
For a week or two after Wendy came it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep her, as she was another mouth to feed.
Durante uma semana ou duas após o nascimento de Wendy, era duvidoso se conseguiriam mantê-la, pois ela era mais uma boca para alimentar.
Mr. Darling was frightfully proud of her, but he was very honourable, and he sat on the edge of Mrs. Darling's bed, holding her hand and calculating expenses, while she looked at him imploringly.
O Sr. Darling tinha um orgulho imenso dela, mas era muito honrado, e sentou-se na beira da cama da Sra. Darling, segurando sua mão e calculando as despesas, enquanto ela o olhava de forma implorante.
