2 Their room was on the second floor facing the sea. Su habitación estaba en la segunda planta, mirando al mar. 4 In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Cuando hacía buen tiempo, siempre había un artista con su caballete. 6 It was made of bronze and glistened in the rain. Estaba hecha de bronce y brillaba cuando llovía. 10 Outside right under their window a cat was crouched under one of the dripping green tables. Fuera, justo debajo de su ventana, un gato estaba acurrucado debajo de una de las goteantes mesas. 16 The husband went on reading, lying propped up with the two pillows at the foot of the bed. El marido siguió leyendo, tumbado con los pies apoyados en dos almohadas a los pies de la cama. 18 The wife went downstairs and the hotel owner stood up and bowed to her as she passed the office. His desk was at the far end of the office. La esposa bajó las escaleras y el dueño del hotel se levantó y se inclinó hacia ella al tiempo que ella pasaba por delante de la oficina. 22 He stood behind his desk in the far end of the dim room. Él permaneció detrás de su escritorio al fondo de la sala oscura. 27 Perhaps she could go along to the eaves. Quizá podría ir a lo largo de los aleros. 42 They went back along the gravel path and passed in the door. Ellas volvieron por el sendero de grava entraron por la puerta. 49 " Wonder where it went to", he said, resting his eyes from reading. "Me pregunto dónde fue", dijo, descansando sus ojos de la lectura. 51 " It isn't any fun to be a poor kitty out in the rain". "No es nada divertido ser un pobre gatito fuera, debajo de la lluvia". 53 She went over and sat in front of the mirror of the dressing table looking at herself with the hand glass. Ella paró (de hablar) y se sentó delante del espejo del tocador mirándose con el espejo de mano. 56 "Don't you think it would be a good idea if I let my hair grow out ?" "¿No crees que sería una buena idea si dejo que mi pelo crezca?" 58 George looked up and saw the back of her neck, clipped close like a boy's. George alzó la vista y vio la parte trasera de su cuello, rapada como la de un chico. 60 " I get so tired of it ", she said. "Estoy tan cansada de ello", dijo ella. 65 "I want to pull my hair back tight and smooth and make a big knot at the back that I can feel", she said. "I want to have a kitty to sit on my lap and purr when I stroke her". "Quiero estirar mi pelo apretado detrás y liso y hacer un gran moño detrás que pueda sentir", dijo. "Quiero tener un gatito para sentarlo en mi regazo y que ronronee cuando le acaricie". |
