English → Spanish PART ONE--The Old Buccaneer Level 6/10

The doctor never so much as moved.

El doctor no se movió ni un ápice.

He spoke to him as before, over his shoulder and in the same tone of voice, rather high, so that all the room might hear, but perfectly calm and steady: "If you do not put that knife this instant in your pocket, I promise, upon my honour, you shall hang at the next assizes."

Le habló como antes, por encima del hombro y en el mismo tono de voz, bastante alto, para que todos en la habitación pudieran oír, pero perfectamente tranquilo y sereno: «Si no guarda ese cuchillo en su bolsillo en este instante, le prometo, por mi honor, que lo colgarán en las próximas sesiones del tribunal».

Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the captain soon knuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like a beaten dog.

Luego siguió un duelo de miradas entre ellos, pero el capitán cedió pronto, guardó su arma y volvió a su asiento, refunfuñando como un perro apaleado.

"And now, sir," continued the doctor, "since I now know there's such a fellow in my district, you may count I'll have an eye upon you day and night.

«Y ahora, señor», continuó el doctor, «dado que sé que hay un individuo como usted en mi distrito, puede contar con que le tendré vigilado día y noche.

I'm not a doctor only; I'm a magistrate; and if I catch a breath of complaint against you, if it's only for a piece of incivility like tonight's, I'll take effectual means to have you hunted down and routed out of this.

No soy solo médico; soy magistrado; y si llega a mis oídos la más mínima queja contra usted, aunque sea solo por una insolencia como la de esta noche, tomaré medidas eficaces para que lo persigan y lo expulsen de aquí.

Let that suffice."

Que eso le baste».

Soon after, Dr. Livesey's horse came to the door and he rode away, but the captain held his peace that evening, and for many evenings to come.

Poco después, el caballo del doctor Livesey llegó a la puerta y él se marchó, pero el capitán guardó silencio aquella noche y durante muchas noches más.

Black Dog Appears and Disappears

El Perro Negro aparece y desaparece

It was not very long after this that there occurred the first of the mysterious events that rid us at last of the captain, though not, as you will see, of his affairs.

No pasó mucho tiempo después de esto cuando ocurrió el primero de los misteriosos sucesos que nos libraron por fin del capitán, aunque no, como verán, de sus asuntos.
