Peter Pan — Page 13
He did not alarm her, for she thought she had seen him before in the faces of many women who have no children.
Ele não a assustou, pois ela achava tê-lo visto antes nos rostos de muitas mulheres que não têm filhos.
Perhaps he is to be found in the faces of some mothers also.
Talvez ele também possa ser encontrado nos rostos de algumas mães.
But in her dream he had rent the film that obscures the Neverland, and she saw Wendy and John and Michael peeping through the gap.
Mas em seu sonho ele havia rasgado o véu que obscurece a Terra do Nunca, e ela viu Wendy, John e Michael espiando pela abertura.
The dream by itself would have been a trifle, but while she was dreaming the window of the nursery blew open, and a boy did drop on the floor.
O sonho por si só teria sido uma ninharia, mas enquanto ela sonhava a janela do quarto das crianças se abriu com o vento, e um menino caiu no chão.
He was accompanied by a strange light, no bigger than your fist, which darted about the room like a living thing and I think it must have been this light that wakened Mrs. Darling.
Ele estava acompanhado por uma luz estranha, não maior que o seu punho, que se movia pelo quarto como um ser vivo, e creio que deve ter sido essa luz que acordou a Senhora Darling.
She started up with a cry, and saw the boy, and somehow she knew at once that he was Peter Pan.
Ela se levantou com um grito, viu o menino, e de alguma forma soube imediatamente que era Peter Pan.
If you or I or Wendy had been there we should have seen that he was very like Mrs. Darling's kiss.
Se você, ou eu, ou Wendy tivéssemos estado lá, teríamos visto que ele era muito parecido com o beijo da Senhora Darling.
He was a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of trees but the most entrancing thing about him was that he had all his first teeth.
Era um menino adorável, vestido de folhas secas e da seiva que escorre das árvores, mas a coisa mais encantadora nele era que ele ainda tinha todos os seus primeiros dentes.
When he saw she was a grown-up, he gnashed the little pearls at her.
Quando ele viu que ela era uma adulta, rangeu as pequenas pérolas na direção dela.
