The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 48
The doctor, it appeared, now more than ever confined himself to the cabinet over the laboratory, where he would sometimes even sleep; he was out of spirits, he had grown very silent, he did not read; it seemed as if he had something on his mind.
El doctor, al parecer, ahora más que nunca se confinaba en el gabinete sobre el laboratorio, donde a veces incluso dormía; estaba desanimado, se había vuelto muy silencioso, no leía; parecía como si tuviera algo en la mente.
Utterson became so used to the unvarying character of these reports, that he fell off little by little in the frequency of his visits.
Utterson se acostumbró tanto al carácter invariable de estos informes, que disminuyó poco a poco la frecuencia de sus visitas.
INCIDENT AT THE WINDOW
INCIDENTE EN LA VENTANA
It chanced on Sunday, when Mr. Utterson was on his usual walk with Mr. Enfield, that their way lay once again through the by-street; and that when they came in front of the door, both stopped to gaze on it.
Ocurrió el domingo, cuando el Sr. Utterson estaba en su paseo habitual con el Sr. Enfield, que su camino pasaba una vez más por la calle lateral; y que cuando llegaron frente a la puerta, ambos se detuvieron a contemplarla.
"Well," said Enfield, "that story's at an end at least.
"Bueno", dijo Enfield, "esa historia ha terminado al menos.
We shall never see more of Mr. Hyde."
Nunca volveremos a ver al Sr. Hyde".
"I hope not," said Utterson.
"Espero que no", dijo Utterson.
"Did I ever tell you that I once saw him, and shared your feeling of repulsion?"
"¿Te conté alguna vez que una vez lo vi y compartí tu sentimiento de repulsión?"
"It was impossible to do the one without the other," returned Enfield.
"Era imposible hacer lo uno sin lo otro", respondió Enfield.
"And by the way, what an ass you must have thought me, not to know that this was a back way to Dr. Jekyll's!
"Y por cierto, qué tonto debes haberme creído, al no saber que este era un camino trasero a la casa del Dr. Jekyll!
It was partly your own fault that I found it out, even when I did."
Fue en parte tu culpa que lo descubriera, incluso cuando lo hice".
"So you found it out, did you?" said Utterson.
"Así que lo descubriste, ¿verdad?" dijo Utterson.
"But if that be so, we may step into the court and take a look at the windows.
"Pero si es así, podemos entrar al patio y echar un vistazo a las ventanas.
