English → Pt HAWBERK, ARMOURER. Level 7/10

"Is it nonsense," I asked, managing to suppress what I felt, "is it nonsense when he says that the tassets and cuissards of the enamelled suit of armour commonly known as the 'Prince's Emblazoned' can be found among a mass of rusty theatrical properties, broken stoves and ragpicker's refuse in a garret in Pell Street?"

"É um absurdo," perguntei, conseguindo suprimir o que sentia, "é um absurdo quando ele diz que os tassetes e cuissards da armadura esmaltada comumente conhecida como 'Emblema do Príncipe' podem ser encontrados entre uma massa de adereços teatrais enferrujados, fogões quebrados e refugos de trapeiro num sótão na Rua Pell?"

Hawberk's hammer fell to the ground, but he picked it up and asked, with a great deal of calm, how I knew that the tassets and left cuissard were missing from the "Prince's Emblazoned."

O martelo de Hawberk caiu no chão, mas ele o apanhou e perguntou, com bastante calma, como eu sabia que os tassetes e o cuissard esquerdo estavam faltando no "Emblema do Príncipe".

"I did not know until Mr. Wilde mentioned it to me the other day. He said they were in the garret of 998 Pell Street."

"Eu não sabia até que o Sr. Wilde me mencionou outro dia. Ele disse que estavam no sótão do número 998 da Rua Pell."

"Nonsense," he cried, but I noticed his hand trembling under his leathern apron.

"Absurdo", exclamou ele, mas percebi que sua mão tremia sob seu avental de couro.

"Is this nonsense too?" I asked pleasantly, "is it nonsense when Mr. Wilde continually speaks of you as the Marquis of Avonshire and of Miss Constance—"

"Isso também é absurdo?" perguntei agradavelmente, "é absurdo quando o Sr. Wilde continuamente fala de você como o Marquês de Avonshire e da Srta. Constance—"

I did not finish, for Constance had started to her feet with terror written on every feature.

Eu não terminei, pois Constance havia se levantado com o terror estampado em cada traço do rosto.

Hawberk looked at me and slowly smoothed his leathern apron.

Hawberk olhou para mim e lentamente alisou seu avental de couro.

"That is impossible," he observed, "Mr. Wilde may know a great many things—"

"Isso é impossível", observou ele, "o Sr. Wilde pode saber muitas coisas—"

"About armour, for instance, and the 'Prince's Emblazoned,'" I interposed, smiling.

"Sobre armaduras, por exemplo, e o 'Emblema do Príncipe'" interpus eu, sorrindo.

"Yes," he continued, slowly, "about armour also—may be—but he is wrong in regard to the Marquis of Avonshire, who, as you know, killed his wife's traducer years ago, and went to Australia where he did not long survive his wife."

"Sim", continuou ele, lentamente, "sobre armaduras também — talvez — mas ele está errado em relação ao Marquês de Avonshire, que, como você sabe, matou o difamador de sua esposa há anos, e foi para a Austrália, onde não sobreviveu muito tempo à sua esposa."

"Mr.

"Sr.
