The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 14
The two oarsmen bent to their work, and the little boat glided away as rapidly as possible in the midst of the thousand vessels which choke up the narrow way which leads between the two rows of ships from the mouth of the harbor to the Quai d'Orléans.
Os dois remadores curvaram-se sobre o seu trabalho, e o pequeno barco deslizou o mais rapidamente possível no meio dos mil navios que obstruem a estreita passagem que conduz entre as duas fileiras de embarcações da boca do porto ao Cais de Orléans.
The shipowner, smiling, followed him with his eyes until he saw him spring out on the quay and disappear in the midst of the throng, which from five o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock at night, swarms in the famous street of La Canebière,—a street of which the modern Phocéens are so proud that they say with all the gravity in the world, and with that accent which gives so much character to what is said, "If Paris had La Canebière, Paris would be a second Marseilles."
O armador, sorrindo, seguiu-o com os olhos até vê-lo saltar para o cais e desaparecer no meio da multidão que, das cinco da manhã às nove da noite, fervilha na famosa rua da Canebière,—uma rua da qual os modernos focenses se orgulham tanto que dizem com toda a gravidade do mundo, e com aquele sotaque que confere tanto caráter ao que se diz: "Se Paris tivesse a Canebière, Paris seria uma segunda Marselha."
On turning round the owner saw Danglars behind him, apparently awaiting orders, but in reality also watching the young sailor,—but there was a great difference in the expression of the two men who thus followed the movements of Edmond Dantès.
Ao se virar, o armador viu Danglars atrás de si, aparentemente aguardando ordens, mas na realidade também observando o jovem marinheiro,—porém havia uma grande diferença na expressão dos dois homens que assim acompanhavam os movimentos de Edmond Dantès.
