Wuthering Heights — Page 3
Heathcliff, the door must bear the consequence of your servants' leisure attendance: I had hard work to make them hear me."
Heathcliff, a porta deve sofrer as consequências da negligência dos seus criados: tive muito trabalho para fazê-los ouvir-me."
She never opened her mouth.
Ela não abriu a boca sequer.
I stared—she stared also: at any rate, she kept her eyes on me in a cool, regardless manner, exceedingly embarrassing and disagreeable.
Eu a fitei — ela também me fitou: de qualquer modo, manteve os olhos sobre mim de maneira fria e indiferente, extremamente constrangedora e desagradável.
"Sit down," said the young man, gruffly.
"Sente-se", disse o jovem, rispidamente.
"He'll be in soon."
"Ele chegará em breve."
I obeyed; and hemmed, and called the villain Juno, who deigned, at this second interview, to move the extreme tip of her tail, in token of owning my acquaintance.
Obedeci; e pigarreei, e chamei a vilã Juno, que se dignou, neste segundo encontro, a mover a ponta extrema de sua cauda, em sinal de reconhecer minha presença.
"A beautiful animal!" I commenced again.
"Que animal lindo!" comecei de novo.
"Do you intend parting with the little ones, madam?"
"Pretende separar-se dos filhotes, senhora?"
"They are not mine," said the amiable hostess, more repellingly than Heathcliff himself could have replied.
"Eles não são meus", disse a amável anfitriã, de forma mais repelente do que o próprio Heathcliff poderia ter respondido.
"Ah, your favourites are among these?" I continued, turning to an obscure cushion full of something like cats.
"Ah, seus favoritos estão entre esses?" continuei, voltando-me para uma almofada escura cheia de algo parecido com gatos.
"A strange choice of favourites!" she observed scornfully.
"Uma estranha escolha de favoritos!" ela observou com desdém.
Unluckily, it was a heap of dead rabbits.
Infelizmente, era uma pilha de coelhos mortos.
I hemmed once more, and drew closer to the hearth, repeating my comment on the wildness of the evening.
Pigarreei mais uma vez e me aproximei da lareira, repetindo meu comentário sobre a ferocidade da noite.
"You should not have come out," she said, rising and reaching from the chimney-piece two of the painted canisters.
"Você não deveria ter saído", ela disse, levantando-se e alcançando da lareira dois dos recipientes pintados.
Her position before was sheltered from the light; now, I had a distinct view of her whole figure and countenance.
Sua posição anterior estava abrigada da luz; agora, eu tinha uma visão nítida de toda a sua figura e semblante.
