The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 13
No, for I think he never liked me since the day when I was silly enough, after a little quarrel we had, to propose to him to stop for ten minutes at the island of Monte Cristo to settle the dispute—a proposition which I was wrong to suggest, and he quite right to refuse.
Não, pois creio que ele nunca me estimou desde o dia em que fui tolo o suficiente, depois de uma pequena discussão que tivemos, para lhe propor que parássemos por dez minutos na ilha de Monte Cristo para resolver a disputa — uma proposição que eu errei em sugerir, e ele fez muito bem em recusar.
If you mean as responsible agent when you ask me the question, I believe there is nothing to say against him, and that you will be content with the way in which he has performed his duty.
Se o senhor quer dizer como agente responsável quando me faz essa pergunta, creio que não há nada a dizer contra ele, e que o senhor ficará satisfeito com a maneira pela qual ele cumpriu o seu dever.
"But tell me, Dantès, if you had command of the _Pharaon_ should you be glad to see Danglars remain?"
"Mas diga-me, Dantès, se o senhor tivesse o comando do _Faraó_, ficaria contente em ver Danglars permanecer?"
"Captain or mate, M. Morrel, I shall always have the greatest respect for those who possess the owners' confidence."
"Capitão ou imediato, M. Morrel, terei sempre o maior respeito por aqueles que possuem a confiança dos armadores."
"That's right, that's right, Dantès! I see you are a thoroughly good fellow, and will detain you no longer. Go, for I see how impatient you are."
"Muito bem, muito bem, Dantès! Vejo que o senhor é um rapaz verdadeiramente bom, e não o reterei por mais tempo. Vá, pois vejo como está impaciente."
"Then I have leave?"
"Então estou dispensado?"
"Go, I tell you."
"Vá, digo-lhe."
"May I have the use of your skiff?"
"Posso utilizar o seu escaler?"
"Certainly."
"Certamente."
"Then, for the present, M. Morrel, farewell, and a thousand thanks!"
"Então, por ora, M. Morrel, adeus, e mil agradecimentos!"
"I hope soon to see you again, my dear Edmond. Good luck to you."
"Espero vê-lo novamente em breve, meu caro Edmond. Boa sorte para o senhor."
The young sailor jumped into the skiff, and sat down in the stern sheets, with the order that he be put ashore at La Canebière.
O jovem marinheiro saltou para o escaler e sentou-se na popa, com a ordem de que fosse desembarcado na La Canebière.
