The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 19
But his fear was only momentary; and though he did not look the lawyer in the face, he answered coolly enough: "That is my name.
Pero su miedo fue solo momentáneo; y aunque no miró al abogado a la cara, respondió con bastante frialdad: "Ese es mi nombre.
What do you want?"
¿Qué desea?"
"I see you are going in," returned the lawyer.
"Veo que va a entrar," respondió el abogado.
"I am an old friend of Dr. Jekyll's—Mr. Utterson of Gaunt Street—you must have heard of my name; and meeting you so conveniently, I thought you might admit me."
"Soy un viejo amigo del Dr. Jekyll—el Sr. Utterson de Gaunt Street—debe haber oído mi nombre; y al encontrarlo tan convenientemente, pensé que podría dejarme entrar."
"You will not find Dr. Jekyll; he is from home," replied Mr. Hyde, blowing in the key.
"No encontrará al Dr. Jekyll; no está en casa," respondió el Sr. Hyde, soplando la llave.
And then suddenly, but still without looking up, "How did you know me?" he asked.
Y luego repentinamente, pero aún sin levantar la vista, "¿Cómo me conoció?" preguntó.
"On your side," said Mr. Utterson "will you do me a favour?"
"Por su parte," dijo el Sr. Utterson "¿me haría un favor?"
"With pleasure," replied the other.
"Con mucho gusto," respondió el otro.
"What shall it be?"
"¿Cuál será?"
"Will you let me see your face?" asked the lawyer.
"¿Me permitiría ver su rostro?" preguntó el abogado.
Mr. Hyde appeared to hesitate, and then, as if upon some sudden reflection, fronted about with an air of defiance; and the pair stared at each other pretty fixedly for a few seconds.
El Sr. Hyde pareció dudar, y luego, como si fuera por alguna reflexión repentina, se volvió de frente con aire desafiante; y la pareja se miró fijamente durante unos segundos.
"Now I shall know you again," said Mr. Utterson.
"Ahora lo reconoceré de nuevo," dijo el Sr. Utterson.
"It may be useful."
"Puede ser útil."
"Yes," returned Mr. Hyde, "it is as well we have met; and _à propos_, you should have my address."
"Sí," respondió el Sr. Hyde, "es bueno que nos hayamos encontrado; y a propósito, debería tener mi dirección."
And he gave a number of a street in Soho.
Y le dio un número de una calle en Soho.
"Good God!" thought Mr. Utterson, "can he, too, have been thinking of the will?"
"¡Dios mío!" pensó el Sr. Utterson, "¿acaso él también habrá estado pensando en el testamento?"
But he kept his feelings to himself and only grunted in acknowledgment of the address.
Pero guardó sus sentimientos para sí mismo y solo gruñó en reconocimiento de la dirección.
