Father and Son
Pai e Filho
We will leave Danglars struggling with the demon of hatred, and endeavoring to insinuate in the ear of the shipowner some evil suspicions against his comrade, and follow Dantès, who, after having traversed La Canebière, took the Rue de Noailles, and entering a small house, on the left of the Allées de Meilhan, rapidly ascended four flights of a dark staircase, holding the baluster with one hand, while with the other he repressed the beatings of his heart, and paused before a half-open door, from which he could see the whole of a small room.
Deixaremos Danglars lutando com o demônio do ódio, e tentando insinuar no ouvido do armador algumas suspeitas maliciosas contra seu camarada, e seguiremos Dantès, que, após ter atravessado La Canebière, tomou a Rue de Noailles, e entrando em uma pequena casa, à esquerda das Allées de Meilhan, subiu rapidamente quatro lances de uma escada escura, segurando o corrimão com uma mão, enquanto com a outra reprimia as palpitações do coração, e parou diante de uma porta entreaberta, pela qual podia ver todo o interior de um pequeno quarto.
This room was occupied by Dantès' father.
Este quarto era ocupado pelo pai de Dantès.
The news of the arrival of the _Pharaon_ had not yet reached the old man, who, mounted on a chair, was amusing himself by training with trembling hand the nasturtiums and sprays of clematis that clambered over the trellis at his window.
A notícia da chegada do _Faraó_ ainda não havia chegado ao velho, que, subido em uma cadeira, se divertia conduzindo com mão trêmula as capuchinhas e ramos de clematite que trepavam pela treliça de sua janela.
Suddenly, he felt an arm thrown around his body, and a well-known voice behind him exclaimed, "Father—dear father!"
De repente, sentiu um braço envolver seu corpo, e uma voz conhecida atrás dele exclamou: "Pai — querido pai!"
The old man uttered a cry, and turned round; then, seeing his son, he fell into his arms, pale and trembling.
O velho soltou um grito e se voltou; então, ao ver seu filho, caiu em seus braços, pálido e trêmulo.
"What ails you, my dearest father? Are you ill?" inquired the young man, much alarmed.
"O que há com o senhor, meu querido pai? Está doente?" perguntou o jovem, muito alarmado.
"No, no, my dear Edmond—my boy—my son!—no; but I did not expect you; and joy, the surprise of seeing you so suddenly—Ah, I feel as if I were going to die."
"Não, não, meu querido Edmond — meu menino — meu filho! — não; mas eu não esperava por você; e a alegria, a surpresa de ver-te tão de repente — Ah, sinto como se fosse morrer."
"Come, come, cheer up, my dear father! 'Tis I—really I!
"Vamos, vamos, anime-se, meu querido pai! Sou eu — realmente eu!
