"
I believe that, besides the packet, Captain Leclere confided a letter to his care.
Creio que, além do pacote, o capitão Leclere confiou-lhe uma carta.
"Of what packet are you speaking, Danglars?"
"De que pacote está falando, Danglars?"
"Why, that which Dantès left at Porto-Ferrajo."
"Ora, aquele que Dantès deixou em Porto-Ferrajo."
"How do you know he had a packet to leave at Porto-Ferrajo?"
"Como sabe que ele tinha um pacote a deixar em Porto-Ferrajo?"
Danglars turned very red.
Danglars ficou muito vermelho.
"I was passing close to the door of the captain's cabin, which was half open, and I saw him give the packet and letter to Dantès."
"Eu passava perto da porta da cabine do capitão, que estava entreaberta, e o vi entregar o pacote e a carta a Dantès."
"He did not speak to me of it," replied the shipowner; "but if there be any letter he will give it to me."
"Ele não me falou nisso", respondeu o armador; "mas se houver alguma carta, ele ma entregará."
Danglars reflected for a moment. "Then, M. Morrel, I beg of you," said he, "not to say a word to Dantès on the subject. I may have been mistaken."
Danglars refletiu por um momento. "Então, Sr. Morrel, peço-lhe", disse ele, "que não diga uma palavra a Dantès sobre o assunto. Posso ter me enganado."
At this moment the young man returned; Danglars withdrew.
Nesse momento o jovem voltou; Danglars se retirou.
"Well, my dear Dantès, are you now free?" inquired the owner.
"Bem, meu caro Dantès, está livre agora?" perguntou o armador.
"Yes, sir."
"Sim, senhor."
"You have not been long detained."
"Não o retiveram por muito tempo."
"No. I gave the custom-house officers a copy of our bill of lading; and as to the other papers, they sent a man off with the pilot, to whom I gave them."
"Não. Dei aos funcionários da alfândega uma cópia do nosso conhecimento de carga; e quanto aos outros documentos, eles mandaram um homem com o prático, a quem os entreguei."
"Then you have nothing more to do here?"
"Então não tem mais nada a fazer aqui?"
"No—everything is all right now."
"Não — tudo está em ordem agora."
"Then you can come and dine with me?"
"Então pode vir jantar comigo?"
"I really must ask you to excuse me, M. Morrel. My first visit is due to my father, though I am not the less grateful for the honor you have done me.
"Devo realmente pedir-lhe que me desculpe, Sr. Morrel. Minha primeira visita é devida ao meu pai, embora não seja por isso menos grato pela honra que me concedeu.
