Ulysses — Page 15
—What sort of a kip is this? he said. I told her to come after eight.
—Que espécie de antro é este? disse ele. Eu disse-lhe para vir depois das oito.
—We can drink it black, Stephen said thirstily. There's a lemon in the locker.
—Podemos bebê-lo preto, disse Stephen com sede. Há um limão no armário.
—O, damn you and your Paris fads! Buck Mulligan said. I want Sandycove milk.
—Oh, que te mande o diabo a ti e às tuas manias de Paris! disse Buck Mulligan. Eu quero leite de Sandycove.
Haines came in from the doorway and said quietly:
Haines entrou pela porta e disse calmamente:
—That woman is coming up with the milk.
—Aquela mulher está a subir com o leite.
—The blessings of God on you! Buck Mulligan cried, jumping up from his chair. Sit down. Pour out the tea there. The sugar is in the bag. Here, I can't go fumbling at the damned eggs.
—As bênçãos de Deus sobre ti! gritou Buck Mulligan, saltando da cadeira. Senta-te. Serve o chá aí. O açúcar está no saco. Olha, eu não posso ficar a mexer nos malditos ovos.
He hacked through the fry on the dish and slapped it out on three plates, saying:
Ele cortou grosseiramente a fritura no prato e distribuiu-a por três pratos, dizendo:
—_In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti._
—_In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti._
Haines sat down to pour out the tea.
Haines sentou-se para servir o chá.
—I'm giving you two lumps each, he said. But, I say, Mulligan, you do make strong tea, don't you?
—Estou a dar-vos dois cubos cada um, disse ele. Mas, digo-te, Mulligan, fazes mesmo chá forte, não fazes?
Buck Mulligan, hewing thick slices from the loaf, said in an old woman's wheedling voice:
Buck Mulligan, cortando fatias grossas do pão, disse com uma voz melosa de velha:
—When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.
—Quando faço chá faço chá, como dizia a velha mãe Grogan. E quando faço água faço água.
—By Jove, it is tea, Haines said.
—Por Júpiter, isto é chá a sério, disse Haines.
Buck Mulligan went on hewing and wheedling:
Buck Mulligan continuou a cortar e a falar com voz melosa:
—_So I do, Mrs Cahill,_ says she. _Begob, ma'am,_ says Mrs Cahill, _God send you don't make them in the one pot._
—_É verdade, senhora Cahill,_ diz ela. _Ora essa, minha senhora,_ diz a senhora Cahill, _Deus queira que não os faça no mesmo tacho._
He lunged towards his messmates in turn a thick slice of bread, impaled on his knife.
Ele estendeu para cada um dos seus companheiros de mesa uma fatia grossa de pão, espetada na faca.
—That's folk, he said very earnestly, for your book, Haines.
—Isso é folclore, disse ele muito seriamente, para o teu livro, Haines.
