THE SHADOW
A SOMBRA
Mrs. Darling screamed, and, as if in answer to a bell, the door opened, and Nana entered, returned from her evening out.
A Sra. Darling gritou, e, como se em resposta a uma campainha, a porta se abriu, e Nana entrou, voltando de sua saída noturna.
She growled and sprang at the boy, who leapt lightly through the window.
Ela rosnou e saltou em direção ao menino, que pulou levemente pela janela.
Again Mrs. Darling screamed, this time in distress for him, for she thought he was killed, and she ran down into the street to look for his little body, but it was not there; and she looked up, and in the black night she could see nothing but what she thought was a shooting star.
A Sra. Darling gritou novamente, desta vez em angústia por ele, pois pensou que ele havia morrido, e ela correu para a rua para procurar seu corpinho, mas ele não estava lá; e ela olhou para cima, e na noite negra ela não conseguia ver nada além do que pensou ser uma estrela cadente.
She returned to the nursery, and found Nana with something in her mouth, which proved to be the boy's shadow.
Ela voltou para o quarto das crianças e encontrou Nana com algo na boca, que se revelou ser a sombra do menino.
As he leapt at the window Nana had closed it quickly, too late to catch him, but his shadow had not had time to get out; slam went the window and snapped it off.
Quando ele saltou pela janela, Nana a fechou rapidamente, tarde demais para pegá-lo, mas sua sombra não tinha tido tempo de sair; a janela bateu com força e a cortou.
You may be sure Mrs. Darling examined the shadow carefully, but it was quite the ordinary kind.
Pode ter certeza de que a Sra. Darling examinou a sombra cuidadosamente, mas era de um tipo bastante comum.
Nana had no doubt of what was the best thing to do with this shadow.
Nana não tinha dúvida sobre o que era melhor fazer com essa sombra.
She hung it out at the window, meaning "He is sure to come back for it; let us put it where he can get it easily without disturbing the children."
Ela a pendurou na janela, querendo dizer "Ele certamente voltará para buscá-la; vamos colocá-la onde ele possa pegá-la facilmente sem perturbar as crianças."
But unfortunately Mrs. Darling could not leave it hanging out at the window, it looked so like the washing and lowered the whole tone of the house.
Mas infelizmente a Sra. Darling não podia deixá-la pendurada na janela, pois parecia tanto com roupa lavada e rebaixava o tom geral da casa.
She thought of showing it to Mr.
Ela pensou em mostrá-la ao Sr.
