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

The doctor never so much as moved.

O médico não se moveu nem um pouco.

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."

Ele lhe falou como antes, por cima do ombro e no mesmo tom de voz, bastante alto, para que todos na sala pudessem ouvir, mas perfeitamente calmo e firme: "Se você não guardar essa faca imediatamente no seu bolso, prometo, pela minha honra, que você será enforcado nas próximas sessões do 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.

Seguiu-se então uma batalha de olhares entre eles, mas o capitão logo cedeu, guardou sua arma e voltou ao seu lugar, resmungando como um cão derrotado.

"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.

"E agora, senhor," continuou o médico, "já que agora sei que existe tal sujeito no meu distrito, pode contar que terei um olho em você dia e noite.

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.

Não sou apenas médico; sou magistrado; e se eu ouvir a menor queixa contra você, mesmo que seja apenas por uma grosseria como a de hoje à noite, tomarei medidas eficazes para que você seja caçado e expulso daqui.

Let that suffice."

Que isso 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.

Logo depois, o cavalo do Dr. Livesey veio à porta e ele partiu, mas o capitão manteve-se em silêncio naquela noite e por muitas noites seguintes.

Black Dog Appears and Disappears

O Cão Negro Aparece e 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.

Não demorou muito depois disso para que ocorresse o primeiro dos misteriosos acontecimentos que nos livrou afinal do capitão, embora não, como verão, dos seus assuntos.
