The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 5
Then she had a new inspiration:
Então ela teve uma nova inspiração:
"Tom, you didn't have to undo your shirt collar where I sewed it, to pump on your head, did you? Unbutton your jacket!"
"Tom, você não precisou desfazer o colarinho da sua camisa onde eu costurei, para molhar a cabeça, precisou? Abra o seu paletó!"
The trouble vanished out of Tom's face.
A preocupação desapareceu do rosto de Tom.
He opened his jacket.
Ele abriu o seu paletó.
His shirt collar was securely sewed.
O colarinho de sua camisa estava firmemente costurado.
"Bother! Well, go 'long with you. I'd made sure you'd played hookey and been a-swimming. But I forgive ye, Tom. I reckon you're a kind of a singed cat, as the saying is—better'n you look. _This_ time."
"Ora essa! Bem, vá lá. Eu tinha certeza de que você havia faltado à escola e ficado nadando. Mas eu te perdoo, Tom. Acho que você é uma espécie de gato chamuscado, como diz o ditado — melhor do que parece. _Esta_ vez."
She was half sorry her sagacity had miscarried, and half glad that Tom had stumbled into obedient conduct for once.
Ela estava meio arrependida de que sua perspicácia havia falhado, e meio contente de que Tom havia, por uma vez, se comportado obedientemente.
But Sidney said:
Mas Sidney disse:
"Well, now, if I didn't think you sewed his collar with white thread, but it's black."
"Ora, agora, eu pensava que você havia costurado o colarinho dele com linha branca, mas é preta."
"Why, I did sew it with white! Tom!"
"Ora, eu costurei com branca! Tom!"
But Tom did not wait for the rest.
Mas Tom não esperou pelo resto.
As he went out at the door he said:
Ao sair pela porta, ele disse:
"Siddy, I'll lick you for that."
"Siddy, eu vou te dar uma surra por isso."
In a safe place Tom examined two large needles which were thrust into the lapels of his jacket, and had thread bound about them—one needle carried white thread and the other black.
Em um lugar seguro, Tom examinou duas grandes agulhas que estavam enfiadas nas lapelas do seu paletó, com linha enrolada nelas — uma agulha tinha linha branca e a outra, preta.
He said:
Ele disse:
"She'd never noticed if it hadn't been for Sid. Confound it! sometimes she sews it with white, and sometimes she sews it with black. I wish to gee-miny she'd stick to one or t'other—I can't keep the run of 'em. But I bet you I'll lam Sid for that. I'll learn him!
"Ela nunca teria notado se não fosse pelo Sid. Maldição! às vezes ela costura com branca, e às vezes costura com preta. Queria muito que ela se decidisse por uma ou outra — eu não consigo acompanhar. Mas pode apostar que eu vou dar uma lição no Sid por isso. Eu vou ensiná-lo!
