The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 42
Hyde had disappeared out of the ken of the police as though he had never existed.
Hyde había desaparecido del conocimiento de la policía como si nunca hubiera existido.
Much of his past was unearthed, indeed, and all disreputable: tales came out of the man's cruelty, at once so callous and violent; of his vile life, of his strange associates, of the hatred that seemed to have surrounded his career; but of his present whereabouts, not a whisper.
Mucho de su pasado fue desenterrado, en efecto, y todo era deshonroso: salieron relatos de la crueldad del hombre, a la vez tan insensible y violenta; de su vida vil, de sus extraños asociados, del odio que parecía haber rodeado su carrera; pero de su paradero actual, ni un susurro.
From the time he had left the house in Soho on the morning of the murder, he was simply blotted out; and gradually, as time drew on, Mr. Utterson began to recover from the hotness of his alarm, and to grow more at quiet with himself.
Desde el momento en que había dejado la casa en Soho la mañana del asesinato, simplemente fue borrado; y gradualmente, a medida que pasaba el tiempo, el señor Utterson comenzó a recuperarse del ardor de su alarma, y a estar más tranquilo consigo mismo.
The death of Sir Danvers was, to his way of thinking, more than paid for by the disappearance of Mr. Hyde.
La muerte de Sir Danvers estaba, según su modo de pensar, más que compensada por la desaparición del señor Hyde.
Now that that evil influence had been withdrawn, a new life began for Dr. Jekyll.
Ahora que aquella influencia maligna había sido retirada, una nueva vida comenzó para el doctor Jekyll.
He came out of his seclusion, renewed relations with his friends, became once more their familiar guest and entertainer; and whilst he had always been known for charities, he was now no less distinguished for religion.
Salió de su reclusión, renovó relaciones con sus amigos, se convirtió una vez más en su invitado y anfitrión familiar; y mientras que siempre había sido conocido por sus caridades, ahora no era menos distinguido por la religión.
He was busy, he was much in the open air, he did good; his face seemed to open and brighten, as if with an inward consciousness of service; and for more than two months, the doctor was at peace.
Estaba ocupado, estaba mucho al aire libre, hacía el bien; su rostro parecía abrirse y alegrarse, como con una conciencia interior de servicio; y por más de dos meses, el doctor estuvo en paz.
