"And that was Policar Morrel, my uncle, who was afterwards a captain.

"E esse era Policar Morrel, meu tio, que depois foi capitão.

Dantès, you must tell my uncle that the emperor remembered him, and you will see it will bring tears into the old soldier's eyes.

Dantès, você deve dizer ao meu tio que o imperador se lembrou dele, e você verá que isso trará lágrimas aos olhos do velho soldado.

Come, come," continued he, patting Edmond's shoulder kindly, "you did very right, Dantès, to follow Captain Leclere's instructions, and touch at Elba, although if it were known that you had conveyed a packet to the marshal, and had conversed with the emperor, it might bring you into trouble."

Venha, venha," continuou ele, dando um tapinha amigável no ombro de Edmond, "você fez muito bem, Dantès, em seguir as instruções do Capitão Leclere, e tocar em Elba, embora se fosse sabido que você havia entregado um pacote ao marechal, e havia conversado com o imperador, isso poderia lhe trazer problemas."

"How could that bring me into trouble, sir?" asked Dantès; "for I did not even know of what I was the bearer; and the emperor merely made such inquiries as he would of the first comer.

"Como isso poderia me trazer problemas, senhor?" perguntou Dantès; "pois eu nem mesmo sabia o que estava carregando; e o imperador apenas fez tais perguntas como faria ao primeiro que aparecesse.

But, pardon me, here are the health officers and the customs inspectors coming alongside."

Mas, perdoe-me, aqui estão os oficiais de saúde e os inspetores alfandegários se aproximando."

And the young man went to the gangway.

E o jovem foi até a prancha de embarque.

As he departed, Danglars approached, and said,—

Ao partir, Danglars se aproximou e disse:—

"Well, it appears that he has given you satisfactory reasons for his landing at Porto-Ferrajo?"

"Bem, parece que ele lhe deu razões satisfatórias para seu desembarque em Porto-Ferrajo?"

"Yes, most satisfactory, my dear Danglars."

"Sim, muito satisfatórias, meu caro Danglars."

"Well, so much the better," said the supercargo; "for it is not pleasant to think that a comrade has not done his duty."

"Bem, ainda melhor," disse o sobrecarga; "pois não é agradável pensar que um camarada não cumpriu o seu dever."

"Dantès has done his," replied the owner, "and that is not saying much.

"Dantès cumpriu o seu," respondeu o armador, "e isso não é dizer muito.

It was Captain Leclere who gave orders for this delay."

Foi o Capitão Leclere quem deu ordens para este atraso."

"Talking of Captain Leclere, has not Dantès given you a letter from him?"

"Falando do Capitão Leclere, Dantès não lhe entregou uma carta dele?"

"To me?—no—was there one?

"Para mim?—não—havia alguma?
