STORY OF THE DOOR
A HISTÓRIA DA PORTA
Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable.
O Sr. Utterson, o advogado, era um homem de semblante austero que jamais se iluminava com um sorriso; frio, parco e embaraçado no discurso; retraído nos sentimentos; magro, alto, empoeirado, melancólico e, no entanto, de alguma forma, cativante.
At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life.
Nas reuniões amigáveis, e quando o vinho era do seu agrado, algo eminentemente humano emanava do seu olhar; algo que, de facto, nunca encontrava caminho no seu discurso, mas que falava não apenas nesses símbolos silenciosos do rosto após o jantar, mas com mais frequência e intensidade nos atos da sua vida.
He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years.
Era austero consigo mesmo; bebia gin quando estava sozinho, para mortificar o gosto pelos vinhos finos; e embora apreciasse o teatro, não cruzava as portas de um há vinte anos.
But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
Mas tinha uma tolerância reconhecida para com os outros; por vezes admirando-se, quase com inveja, da intensa pressão de ânimo envolvida nas suas más ações; e em qualquer extremidade inclinava-se a ajudar em vez de repreender.
"I incline to Cain's heresy," he used to say quaintly: "I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
"Inclino-me para a heresia de Caim", costumava dizer com peculiaridade: "Deixo o meu irmão ir para o diabo à sua própria maneira.
