Danglars retreated a step or two. "I wished to inquire why you stopped at the Island of Elba?"
Danglars recuou um ou dois passos. "Eu queria perguntar por que você parou na Ilha de Elba?"
"I do not know, sir; it was to fulfil the last instructions of Captain Leclere, who, when dying, gave me a packet for Marshal Bertrand."
"Não sei, senhor; foi para cumprir as últimas instruções do Capitão Leclere, que, ao morrer, me deu um pacote para o Marechal Bertrand."
"Then did you see him, Edmond?"
"Então você o viu, Edmond?"
"Who?"
"Quem?"
"The marshal."
"O marechal."
"Yes."
"Sim."
Morrel looked around him, and then, drawing Dantès on one side, he said suddenly—
Morrel olhou ao seu redor e, então, puxando Dantès para um lado, disse de repente —
"And how is the emperor?"
"E como está o imperador?"
"Very well, as far as I could judge from the sight of him."
"Muito bem, pelo que pude julgar ao vê-lo."
"You saw the emperor, then?"
"Você viu o imperador, então?"
"He entered the marshal's apartment while I was there."
"Ele entrou no apartamento do marechal enquanto eu estava lá."
"And you spoke to him?"
"E você falou com ele?"
"Why, it was he who spoke to me, sir," said Dantès, with a smile.
"Ora, foi ele quem falou comigo, senhor", disse Dantès, com um sorriso.
"And what did he say to you?"
"E o que ele lhe disse?"
"Asked me questions about the vessel, the time she left Marseilles, the course she had taken, and what was her cargo. I believe, if she had not been laden, and I had been her master, he would have bought her. But I told him I was only mate, and that she belonged to the firm of Morrel & Son. 'Ah, yes,' he said, 'I know them. The Morrels have been shipowners from father to son; and there was a Morrel who served in the same regiment with me when I was in garrison at Valence.'"
"Fez-me perguntas sobre o navio, a hora em que partiu de Marselha, o rumo que havia tomado e qual era a sua carga. Creio que, se ela não estivesse carregada, e eu fosse seu mestre, ele a teria comprado. Mas eu lhe disse que era apenas imediato, e que ela pertencia à firma Morrel & Filho. 'Ah, sim,' ele disse, 'eu os conheço. Os Morrel têm sido armadores de pai para filho; e havia um Morrel que serviu no mesmo regimento comigo quando eu estava de guarnição em Valence.'"
"_Pardieu!_ and that is true!" cried the owner, greatly delighted.
"_Pardieu!_ e isso é verdade!" exclamou o armador, extremamente satisfeito.
