The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 111
Half an hour from now, when I shall again and forever reindue that hated personality, I know how I shall sit shuddering and weeping in my chair, or continue, with the most strained and fearstruck ecstasy of listening, to pace up and down this room (my last earthly refuge) and give ear to every sound of menace.
Dentro de media hora, cuando vuelva a revestirme para siempre de esa personalidad odiada, sé cómo me sentaré temblando y llorando en mi silla, o continuaré, con el éxtasis más tenso y aterrorizado de escuchar, paseando de un lado a otro de esta habitación (mi último refugio terrenal) y prestando oído a cada sonido de amenaza.
Will Hyde die upon the scaffold? or will he find courage to release himself at the last moment?
¿Morirá Hyde en el cadalso? ¿o encontrará valor para liberarse en el último momento?
God knows; I am careless; this is my true hour of death, and what is to follow concerns another than myself.
Dios lo sabe; no me importa; esta es mi verdadera hora de muerte, y lo que ha de seguir concierne a otro que no soy yo mismo.
Here then, as I lay down the pen and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.
Aquí pues, al dejar la pluma y proceder a sellar mi confesión, pongo fin a la vida de ese desdichado Henry Jekyll.
