The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 3
Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
Além desses sinais de sua atividade, porém, que eu apenas compartilhava com todos os leitores da imprensa diária, eu sabia pouco sobre meu antigo amigo e companheiro.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street.
Uma noite — era no dia vinte de março de 1888 — eu estava voltando de uma visita a um paciente (pois havia retornado à prática civil), quando meu caminho me levou pela Baker Street.
As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers.
Ao passar pela porta tão bem lembrada, que sempre estará associada em minha mente ao meu cortejo, e aos sombrios incidentes do Estudo em Vermelho, fui tomado por um ardente desejo de ver Holmes novamente, e de saber como ele estava empregando seus poderes extraordinários.
His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind.
Seus aposentos estavam brilhantemente iluminados, e, enquanto eu olhava para cima, vi sua figura alta e esguia passar duas vezes em silhueta escura contra a persiana.
He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him.
Ele percorria o quarto com passos rápidos e ávidos, com a cabeça inclinada sobre o peito e as mãos entrelaçadas atrás de si.
To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story.
Para mim, que conhecia cada um de seus humores e hábitos, sua atitude e seus modos contavam sua própria história.
He was at work again.
Ele estava trabalhando novamente.
He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem.
Ele havia emergido de seus sonhos induzidos pelas drogas e estava ardentemente na pista de algum novo problema.
I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
Toquei a campainha e fui conduzido até o aposento que anteriormente havia sido em parte meu.
His manner was not effusive.
Suas maneiras não eram efusivas.
It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me.
Raramente eram; mas ele estava contente, creio eu, de me ver.
