The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 15
"They have only differed on some point of science," he thought; and being a man of no scientific passions (except in the matter of conveyancing), he even added: "It is nothing worse than that!"
"Eles só divergiram em algum ponto científico", pensou ele; e sendo um homem sem paixões científicas (exceto em matéria de transmissão de propriedades), ele até acrescentou: "Não é nada pior do que isso!"
He gave his friend a few seconds to recover his composure, and then approached the question he had come to put.
Ele deu ao amigo alguns segundos para recuperar a compostura e, em seguida, abordou a questão que havia vindo colocar.
"Did you ever come across a _protégé_ of his—one Hyde?" he asked.
"Você alguma vez se deparou com um _protégé_ dele — um tal de Hyde?" perguntou ele.
"Hyde?" repeated Lanyon. "No. Never heard of him. Since my time."
"Hyde?" repetiu Lanyon. "Não. Nunca ouvi falar dele. Desde o meu tempo."
That was the amount of information that the lawyer carried back with him to the great, dark bed on which he tossed to and fro, until the small hours of the morning began to grow large.
Essa foi a quantidade de informação que o advogado levou consigo de volta à grande e escura cama, na qual se revirou de um lado para o outro, até que as primeiras horas da manhã começaram a avançar.
It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.
Foi uma noite de pouco descanso para a sua mente laboriosa, labutando na pura escuridão e assediada por questões.
Six o'clock struck on the bells of the church that was so conveniently near to Mr. Utterson's dwelling, and still he was digging at the problem.
Seis horas soaram nos sinos da igreja que ficava tão convenientemente perto da residência do Sr. Utterson, e ele ainda estava a escavar o problema.
Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged, or rather enslaved; and as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night and the curtained room, Mr. Enfield's tale went by before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.
Até então, havia-o tocado apenas pelo lado intelectual; mas agora a sua imaginação também estava envolvida, ou melhor, escravizada; e enquanto ele se deitava e se revirava na densa escuridão da noite e do quarto com as cortinas fechadas, o conto do Sr. Enfield desfilava diante da sua mente num rolo de imagens iluminadas.
