Wuthering Heights — Page 2
Vinegar-faced Joseph projected his head from a round window of the barn.
El agriado rostro de Joseph asomó su cabeza por una ventana redonda del granero.
"What are ye for?" he shouted. "T' maister's down i' t' fowld. Go round by th' end o' t' laith, if ye went to spake to him."
"¿Qué queréis?" gritó. "El amo está abajo en el redil. Dad la vuelta por el extremo del establo, si queréis hablar con él."
"Is there nobody inside to open the door?" I hallooed, responsively.
"¿No hay nadie dentro que pueda abrir la puerta?" grité como respuesta.
"There's nobbut t' missis; and shoo'll not oppen 't an ye mak' yer flaysome dins till neeght."
"Solo está la señora; y no abrirá aunque arméis ese espantoso estruendo hasta la noche."
"Why? Cannot you tell her whom I am, eh, Joseph?"
"¿Por qué? ¿No puede usted decirle quién soy, eh, Joseph?"
"Nor-ne me! I'll hae no hend wi't," muttered the head, vanishing.
"¡A mí no me metáis en esto! No quiero tener nada que ver", murmuró la cabeza, desvaneciéndose.
The snow began to drive thickly.
La nieve comenzó a caer densamente.
I seized the handle to essay another trial; when a young man without coat, and shouldering a pitchfork, appeared in the yard behind.
Agarré el picaporte para intentarlo de nuevo; cuando un joven sin abrigo, con una horca al hombro, apareció en el patio trasero.
He hailed me to follow him, and, after marching through a wash-house, and a paved area containing a coal-shed, pump, and pigeon-cot, we at length arrived in the huge, warm, cheerful apartment where I was formerly received.
Me indicó que le siguiera, y, tras atravesar un lavadero y un área pavimentada que contenía un cobertizo para el carbón, una bomba y un palomar, llegamos finalmente a la enorme, cálida y alegre estancia donde fui recibido anteriormente.
It glowed delightfully in the radiance of an immense fire, compounded of coal, peat, and wood; and near the table, laid for a plentiful evening meal, I was pleased to observe the "missis," an individual whose existence I had never previously suspected.
Resplandecía deliciosamente con la luminosidad de un inmenso fuego, compuesto de carbón, turba y leña; y cerca de la mesa, puesta para una abundante cena, me alegró observar a la "señora", un individuo cuya existencia nunca había sospechado anteriormente.
I bowed and waited, thinking she would bid me take a seat.
Hice una reverencia y esperé, pensando que me invitaría a tomar asiento.
She looked at me, leaning back in her chair, and remained motionless and mute.
Ella me miró, recostada en su silla, y permaneció inmóvil y muda.
"Rough weather!" I remarked. "I'm afraid, Mrs.
"¡Mal tiempo!" comenté. "Me temo, señora.
