"Oh no, he isn't grown up," Wendy assured her confidently, "and he is just my size."
"Oh não, ele não cresceu", Wendy a assegurou com confiança, "e ele tem exatamente o meu tamanho."
She meant that he was her size in both mind and body; she didn't know how she knew, she just knew it.
Ela queria dizer que ele tinha o seu tamanho tanto em mente como em corpo; ela não sabia como sabia, simplesmente sabia.
Mrs. Darling consulted Mr. Darling, but he smiled pooh-pooh.
A Sra. Darling consultou o Sr. Darling, mas ele sorriu com desdém.
"Mark my words," he said, "it is some nonsense Nana has been putting into their heads; just the sort of idea a dog would have.
"Guardem as minhas palavras", disse ele, "é algum disparate que a Nana lhes tem metido na cabeça; exatamente o tipo de ideia que um cão teria.
Leave it alone, and it will blow over."
Deixem passar, e isso vai ser esquecido."
But it would not blow over and soon the troublesome boy gave Mrs. Darling quite a shock.
Mas não seria esquecido e em breve o rapaz problemático causou à Sra. Darling um verdadeiro choque.
Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them.
As crianças têm as aventuras mais estranhas sem serem perturbadas por elas.
For instance, they may remember to mention, a week after the event happened, that when they were in the wood they had met their dead father and had a game with him.
Por exemplo, podem lembrar-se de mencionar, uma semana após o acontecimento ter ocorrido, que quando estavam na floresta tinham encontrado o seu pai morto e tinham brincado com ele.
It was in this casual way that Wendy one morning made a disquieting revelation.
Foi desta forma casual que Wendy numa manhã fez uma revelação inquietante.
Some leaves of a tree had been found on the nursery floor, which certainly were not there when the children went to bed, and Mrs. Darling was puzzling over them when Wendy said with a tolerant smile:
Algumas folhas de uma árvore tinham sido encontradas no chão do quarto das crianças, que certamente não estavam lá quando as crianças foram para a cama, e a Sra. Darling estava a tentar percebê-las quando Wendy disse com um sorriso tolerante:
"I do believe it is that Peter again!"
"Eu acredito mesmo que é aquele Peter outra vez!"
"Whatever do you mean, Wendy?"
"O que queres dizer com isso, Wendy?"
"It is so naughty of him not to wipe his feet," Wendy said, sighing.
"É tão malcriado da parte dele não limpar os pés", disse Wendy, suspirando.
She was a tidy child.
Ela era uma criança arrumada.
