The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 4

English → Pt Chapter 2. Level 7/10

When they had brought her to the Hall the maiden was placed in an upper chamber, while Hugo and his friends sat down to a long carouse, as was their nightly custom.

Quando a trouxeram ao Solar, a donzela foi colocada num quarto andar superior, enquanto Hugo e seus amigos se sentavam para uma longa bebedeira, como era seu costume noturno.

Now, the poor lass upstairs was like to have her wits turned at the singing and shouting and terrible oaths which came up to her from below, for they say that the words used by Hugo Baskerville, when he was in wine, were such as might blast the man who said them.

Ora, a pobre moça lá em cima estava quase a perder o juízo com os cantos e gritos e os terríveis juramentos que subiam até ela de baixo, pois dizem que as palavras usadas por Hugo Baskerville, quando estava embriagado, eram tais que poderiam destruir o homem que as pronunciasse.

At last in the stress of her fear she did that which might have daunted the bravest or most active man, for by the aid of the growth of ivy which covered (and still covers) the south wall she came down from under the eaves, and so homeward across the moor, there being three leagues betwixt the Hall and her father's farm.

Por fim, sob a pressão do seu medo, ela fez aquilo que poderia ter intimidado o homem mais corajoso ou mais ágil, pois com o auxílio da hera que cobria (e ainda cobre) a parede sul, desceu por baixo do beiral, e assim seguiu para casa através da charneca, havendo três léguas entre o Solar e a fazenda de seu pai.

"It chanced that some little time later Hugo left his guests to carry food and drink—with other worse things, perchance—to his captive, and so found the cage empty and the bird escaped.

"Aconteceu que algum tempo depois Hugo deixou seus convidados para levar comida e bebida — com outras coisas piores, talvez — à sua prisioneira, e assim encontrou a gaiola vazia e o pássaro escapado.

Then, as it would seem, he became as one that hath a devil, for, rushing down the stairs into the dining-hall, he sprang upon the great table, flagons and trenchers flying before him, and he cried aloud before all the company that he would that very night render his body and soul to the Powers of Evil if he might but overtake the wench.

Então, ao que parece, ele ficou como alguém possuído por um demônio, pois, descendo as escadas em disparada para a sala de jantar, saltou sobre a grande mesa, com jarros e travessas voando à sua frente, e gritou em voz alta diante de toda a companhia que naquela mesma noite entregaria seu corpo e alma aos Poderes do Mal se pudesse apenas alcançar a moça.
