"As to taking command of the vessel," replied Morrel, "that was his duty as captain's mate; as to losing a day and a half off the Island of Elba, he was wrong, unless the vessel needed repairs."
"Quanto a assumir o comando do navio," respondeu Morrel, "isso era seu dever como imediato; quanto a perder um dia e meio ao largo da Ilha de Elba, ele estava errado, a menos que o navio precisasse de reparos."
"The vessel was in as good condition as I am, and as, I hope you are, M. Morrel, and this day and a half was lost from pure whim, for the pleasure of going ashore, and nothing else."
"O navio estava em tão boa condição quanto eu estou, e quanto, espero que esteja, Sr. Morrel, e esse dia e meio foi perdido por puro capricho, pelo prazer de ir a terra, e nada mais."
"Dantès," said the shipowner, turning towards the young man, "come this way!"
"Dantès," disse o armador, voltando-se para o jovem, "venha cá!"
"In a moment, sir," answered Dantès, "and I'm with you." Then calling to the crew, he said, "Let go!"
"Num momento, senhor," respondeu Dantès, "e já estou com o senhor." Em seguida, chamando a tripulação, disse: "Soltem!"
The anchor was instantly dropped, and the chain ran rattling through the port-hole.
A âncora foi imediatamente lançada, e a corrente correu tilintando pela escotilha.
Dantès continued at his post in spite of the presence of the pilot, until this manœuvre was completed, and then he added, "Half-mast the colors, and square the yards!"
Dantès permaneceu em seu posto apesar da presença do piloto, até que esta manobra fosse concluída, e então acrescentou: "Bandeira a meio mastro, e esquadrar as vergas!"
"You see," said Danglars, "he fancies himself captain already, upon my word."
"Está vendo," disse Danglars, "ele já se imagina capitão, pela minha palavra."
"And so, in fact, he is," said the owner.
"E de fato, ele é," disse o armador.
"Except your signature and your partner's, M. Morrel."
"Exceto sua assinatura e a de seu sócio, Sr. Morrel."
"And why should he not have this?" asked the owner; "he is young, it is true, but he seems to me a thorough seaman, and of full experience."
"E por que não deveria tê-la?" perguntou o armador; "ele é jovem, é verdade, mas parece-me um marinheiro completo, e de plena experiência."
A cloud passed over Danglars' brow.
Uma nuvem passou pela testa de Danglars.
"Your pardon, M. Morrel," said Dantès, approaching, "the vessel now rides at anchor, and I am at your service. You hailed me, I think?
"Com licença, Sr. Morrel," disse Dantès, aproximando-se, "o navio está agora ancorado, e estou às suas ordens. O senhor me chamou, creio?
