Little Lord Fauntleroy, by Frances Hodgson Burnett(1849-1924), Chapter : 3

Chapter : 3

Cedric's good opinion of the advantages of being an earl increased greatly during the next week. It seemed almost impossible for him to realize that there was scarcely anything he might wish to do which he could not do easily; in fact, I think it may be said that he did not fully realize it at all. But at least he understood, after a few conversations with Mr. Havisham, that he could gratify all his nearest wishes, and he proceeded to gratify them with a simplicity and delight which caused Mr. Havisham much diversion. In the week before they sailed for England he did many curious things. The lawyer long after remembered the morning they went down-town together to pay a visit to Dick, and the afternoon they so amazed the apple-woman of ancient lineage by stopping before her stall and telling her she was to have a tent, and a stove, and a shawl, and a sum of money which seemed to her quite wonderful.

"For I have to go to England and be a lord," explained Cedric, sweet-temperedly. "And I shouldn't like to have your bones on my mind every time it rained. My own bones never hurt, so I think I don't know how painful a person's bones can be, but I've sympathized with you a great deal, and I hope you'll be better." "She's a very good apple-woman," he said to Mr. Havisham, as they walked away, leaving the proprietress of the stall almost gasping for breath, and not at all believing in her great fortune. "Once, when I fell down and cut my knee, she gave me an apple for nothing. I've always remembered her for it. You know you always remember people who are kind to you." It had never occurred to his honest, simple little mind that there were people who could forget kindnesses.

The interview with Dick was quite exciting. Dick had just been having a great deal of trouble with Jake, and was in low spirits when they saw him. His amazement when Cedric calmly announced that they had come to give him what seemed a very great thing to him, and would set all his troubles right, almost struck him dumb. Lord Fauntleroy's manner of announcing the object of his visit was very simple and unceremonious. Mr. Havisham was much impressed by its directness as he stood by and listened. The statement that his old friend had become a lord, and was in danger of being an earl if he lived long enough, caused Dick to so open his eyes and mouth, and start, that his cap fell off. When he picked it up, he uttered a rather singular exclamation. Mr. Havisham thought it singular, but Cedric had heard it before.

"I soy!" he said, "what're yer givin' us?" This plainly embarrassed his lordship a little, but he bore himself bravely.

"Everybody thinks it not true at first," he said. "Mr. Hobbs thought I'd had a sunstroke. I didn't think I was going to like it myself, but I like it better now I'm used to it. The one who is the earl now, he's my grandpapa; and he wants me to do anything I like. He's very kind, if he IS an earl; and he sent me a lot of money by Mr. Havisham, and I've brought some to you to buy Jake out." And the end of the matter was that Dick actually bought Jake out, and found himself the possessor of the business and some new brushes and a most astonishing sign and outfit. He could not believe in his good luck any more easily than the apple-woman of ancient lineage could believe in hers; he walked about like a boot-black in a dream; he stared at his young benefactor and felt as if he might wake up at any moment. He scarcely seemed to realize anything until Cedric put out his hand to shake hands with him before going away.

"Well, good-bye," he said; and though he tried to speak steadily, there was a little tremble in his voice and he winked his big brown eyes. "And I hope trade'll be good. I'm sorry I'm going away to leave you, but perhaps I shall come back again when I'm an earl. And I wish you'd write to me, because we were always good friends. And if you write to me, here's where you must send your letter." And he gave him a slip of paper. "And my name isn't Cedric Errol any more; it's Lord Fauntleroy and—and good-bye, Dick." Dick winked his eyes also, and yet they looked rather moist about the lashes. He was not an educated boot-black, and he would have found it difficult to tell what he felt just then if he had tried; perhaps that was why he didn't try, and only winked his eyes and swallowed a lump in his throat. "I wish ye wasn't goin' away," he said in a husky voice. Then he winked his eyes again. Then he looked at Mr. Havisham, and touched his cap. "Thanky, sir, fur bringin' him down here an' fur wot ye've done, He's—he's a queer little feller," he added. "I've allers thort a heap of him. He's such a game little feller, an'—an' such a queer little un." And when they turned away he stood and looked after them in a dazed kind of way, and there was still a mist in his eyes, and a lump in his throat, as he watched the gallant little figure marching gayly along by the side of its tall, rigid escort.

Until the day of his departure, his lordship spent as much time as possible with Mr. Hobbs in the store. Gloom had settled upon Mr. Hobbs; he was much depressed in spirits. When his young friend brought to him in triumph the parting gift of a gold watch and chain, Mr. Hobbs found it difficult to acknowledge it properly. He laid the case on his stout knee, and blew his nose violently several times.

"There's something written on it," said Cedric,—"inside the case. I told the man myself what to say. 'From his oldest friend, Lord Fauntleroy, to Mr. Hobbs. When this you see, remember me.' I don't want you to forget me." Mr. Hobbs blew his nose very loudly again.

"I sha'n't forget you," he said, speaking a trifle huskily, as Dick had spoken; "nor don't you go and forget me when you get among the British arrystocracy." "I shouldn't forget you, whoever I was among," answered his lordship. "I've spent my happiest hours with you; at least, some of my happiest hours. I hope you'll come to see me sometime. I'm sure my grandpapa would be very much pleased. Perhaps he'll write and ask you, when I tell him about you. You—you wouldn't mind his being an earl, would you, I mean you wouldn't stay away just because he was one, if he invited you to come?" "I'd come to see you," replied Mr. Hobbs, graciously. So it seemed to be agreed that if he received a pressing invitation from the earl to come and spend a few months at Dorincourt Castle, he was to lay aside his republican prejudices and pack his valise at once.

At last all the preparations were complete; the day came when the trunks were taken to the steamer, and the hour arrived when the carriage stood at the door. Then a curious feeling of loneliness came upon the little boy. His mamma had been shut up in her room for some time; when she came down the stairs, her eyes looked large and wet, and her sweet mouth was trembling. Cedric went to her, and she bent down to him, and he put his arms around her, and they kissed each other. He knew something made them both sorry, though he scarcely knew what it was; but one tender little thought rose to his lips.

"We liked this little house, Dearest, didn't we?" he said. "We always will like it, won't we?" "Yes—yes," she answered, in a low, sweet voice. "Yes, darling." And then they went into the carriage and Cedric sat very close to her, and as she looked back out of the window, he looked at her and stroked her hand and held it close.

And then, it seemed almost directly, they were on the steamer in the midst of the wildest bustle and confusion; carriages were driving down and leaving passengers; passengers were getting into a state of excitement about baggage which had not arrived and threatened to be too late; big trunks and cases were being bumped down and dragged about; sailors were uncoiling ropes and hurrying to and fro; officers were giving orders; ladies and gentlemen and children and nurses were coming on board,—some were laughing and looked gay, some were silent and sad, here and there two or three were crying and touching their eyes with their handkerchiefs. Cedric found something to interest him on every side; he looked at the piles of rope, at the furled sails, at the tall, tall masts which seemed almost to touch the hot blue sky; he began to make plans for conversing with the sailors and gaining some information on the subject of pirates.

It was just at the very last, when he was standing leaning on the railing of the upper deck and watching the final preparations, enjoying the excitement and the shouts of the sailors and wharfmen, that his attention was called to a slight bustle in one of the groups not far from him. Some one was hurriedly forcing his way through this group and coming toward him. It was a boy, with something red in his hand. It was Dick. He came up to Cedric quite breathless.

"I've run all the way," he said. "I've come down to see ye off. Trade's been prime! I bought this for ye out o' what I made yesterday. Ye kin wear it when ye get among the swells. I lost the paper when I was tryin' to get through them fellers downstairs. They didn't want to let me up. It's a hankercher." He poured it all forth as if in one sentence. A bell rang, and he made a leap away before Cedric had time to speak.

"Good-bye!" he panted. "Wear it when ye get among the swells." And he darted off and was gone.

A few seconds later they saw him struggle through the crowd on the lower deck, and rush on shore just before the gang-plank was drawn in. He stood on the wharf and waved his cap.

Cedric held the handkerchief in his hand. It was of bright red silk ornamented with purple horseshoes and horses' heads. There was a great straining and creaking and confusion. The people on the wharf began to shout to their friends, and the people on the steamer shouted back:

"Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye, old fellow!" Every one seemed to be saying, "Don't forget us. Write when you get to Liverpool. Good-bye! Good-bye!" Little Lord Fauntleroy leaned forward and waved the red handkerchief.

"Good-bye, Dick!" he shouted, lustily. "Thank you! Good-bye, Dick!" And the big steamer moved away, and the people cheered again, and Cedric's mother drew the veil over her eyes, and on the shore there was left great confusion; but Dick saw nothing save that bright, childish face and the bright hair that the sun shone on and the breeze lifted, and he heard nothing but the hearty childish voice calling "Good-bye, Dick!" as little Lord Fauntleroy steamed slowly away from the home of his birth to the unknown land of his ancestors.

L'avocat se souvint longtemps du matin où ils sont allés ensemble en ville pour rendre visite à Dick, et de l'après-midi où ils émerveillèrent tant la marchande de pommes d'ancienne lignée en s'arrêtant devant son étal et en lui disant qu'elle allait avoir une tente, un poêle, un châle et une somme d'argent qui lui semblait tout à fait merveilleuse.

"For I have to go to England and be a lord," explained Cedric, sweet-temperedly. ||||||||||||||freundlich "Porque tengo que ir a Inglaterra y ser un lord", explicó Cedric con dulzura. "Car je dois aller en Angleterre et devenir un seigneur," expliqua Cedric, de manière douce. "And I shouldn't like to have your bones on my mind every time it rained.

My own bones never hurt, so I think I don't know how painful a person's bones can be, but I've sympathized with you a great deal, and I hope you'll be better." Mes propres os ne me font jamais mal, donc je pense que je ne sais pas à quel point les os d'une personne peuvent être douloureux, mais j'ai beaucoup de sympathie pour vous, et j'espère que vous allez aller mieux. "She's a very good apple-woman," he said to Mr. Havisham, as they walked away, leaving the proprietress of the stall almost gasping for breath, and not at all believing in her great fortune. |||||||||||||||||propriétaire|||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||Inhaberin|||||nach Luft schnappend||||||||||| « C'est une très bonne femme de pommes », dit-il à M. Havisham, alors qu'ils s'éloignaient, laissant la propriétaire du stand presque à bout de souffle, et ne croyant pas du tout à sa grande fortune. "Once, when I fell down and cut my knee, she gave me an apple for nothing. « Une fois, quand je suis tombé et que je me suis coupé le genou, elle m'a donné une pomme pour rien. » I've always remembered her for it. You know you always remember people who are kind to you." It had never occurred to his honest, simple little mind that there were people who could forget kindnesses. |||||||||||||||||Freundlichkeiten Nunca se le había ocurrido a su mente honesta y sencilla que había personas que podían olvidar las bondades.

The interview with Dick was quite exciting. La entrevista con Dick fue bastante emocionante. L'entretien avec Dick était assez excitant. Dick had just been having a great deal of trouble with Jake, and was in low spirits when they saw him. Dick acababa de tener muchos problemas con Jake y estaba desanimado cuando lo vieron. Dick avait eu beaucoup de problèmes avec Jake et était de mauvaise humeur quand ils l'ont vu. His amazement when Cedric calmly announced that they had come to give him what seemed a very great thing to him, and would set all his troubles right, almost struck him dumb.

The statement that his old friend had become a lord, and was in danger of being an earl if he lived long enough, caused Dick to so open his eyes and mouth, and start, that his cap fell off. La afirmación de que su viejo amigo se había convertido en lord y corría peligro de convertirse en conde si vivía lo suficiente hizo que Dick abriera tanto los ojos y la boca y se sobresaltara, que se le cayó la gorra. La déclaration selon laquelle son vieil ami était devenu un lord, et était en danger de devenir un comte s'il vivait assez longtemps, fit en sorte que Dick ouvrit tellement ses yeux et sa bouche, et sursauta, que son chapeau tomba. When he picked it up, he uttered a rather singular exclamation. ||||||äußerte|||| Cuando lo recogió, profirió una exclamación bastante singular. Quand il le ramassa, il poussa une exclamation plutôt singulière. Mr. Havisham thought it singular, but Cedric had heard it before.

"I soy!" "¡Yo soy!" he said, "what're yer givin' us?" ||||geben| dijo, "¿qué nos estás dando?" il a dit : "qu'est-ce que vous nous donnez ?" This plainly embarrassed his lordship a little, but he bore himself bravely. Esto evidentemente avergonzó un poco a su señoría, pero se portó valientemente. Cela embarrassa un peu son seigneur, mais il se comporta bravement.

"Everybody thinks it not true at first," he said. "Tout le monde pense d'abord que ce n'est pas vrai," a-t-il dit. "Mr. Hobbs thought I'd had a sunstroke. I didn't think I was going to like it myself, but I like it better now I'm used to it. Je ne pensais pas que cela allait me plaire, mais je l'aime mieux maintenant que je m'y suis habitué. The one who is the earl now, he's my grandpapa; and he wants me to do anything I like. Celui qui est le comte maintenant, c'est mon grand-père ; et il veut que je fasse tout ce que je veux. He's very kind, if he IS an earl; and he sent me a lot of money by Mr. Havisham, and I've brought some to you to buy Jake out." Es muy amable, si ES un conde; y me envió una gran cantidad de dinero por medio del Sr. Havisham, y le he traído algo para que compre a Jake". Il est très gentil, même s'il est un comte ; et il m'a envoyé beaucoup d'argent par M. Havisham, et j'en ai apporté pour vous pour racheter Jake. And the end of the matter was that Dick actually bought Jake out, and found himself the possessor of the business and some new brushes and a most astonishing sign and outfit. ||||||||||||||||||||||||Pinsel||||||| Y el final del asunto fue que Dick compró realmente a Jake, y se encontró como dueño del negocio y de algunos pinceles nuevos y un letrero y un atuendo de lo más sorprendente. Et la fin de l'affaire fut que Dick a en fait racheté Jake, et s'est retrouvé possesseur de l'entreprise et de quelques nouveaux pinceaux ainsi qu'une enseigne et une tenue des plus étonnantes. He could not believe in his good luck any more easily than the apple-woman of ancient lineage could believe in hers; he walked about like a boot-black in a dream; he stared at his young benefactor and felt as if he might wake up at any moment. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Wohltäter||||||||||| No podía creer en su buena suerte más fácilmente de lo que la mujer-manzana de antiguo linaje podía creer en la suya; caminaba como un limpiabotas en un sueño; miró fijamente a su joven benefactor y sintió como si fuera a despertarse en cualquier momento. Il ne pouvait pas croire en sa bonne fortune plus facilement que la femme aux pommes de la lignée ancienne ne pouvait croire en la sienne ; il se promenait comme un cireur de chaussures dans un rêve ; il fixait son jeune bienfaiteur et avait l'impression qu'il pourrait se réveiller à tout moment. He scarcely seemed to realize anything until Cedric put out his hand to shake hands with him before going away. Apenas pareció darse cuenta de nada hasta que Cedric extendió la mano para estrecharle la mano antes de irse. Il semblait à peine réaliser quoi que ce soit jusqu'à ce que Cedric tendit la main pour lui serrer la main avant de s'en aller.

"Well, good-bye," he said; and though he tried to speak steadily, there was a little tremble in his voice and he winked his big brown eyes. "And I hope trade'll be good. |||le commerce|| |||der Handel wird|| "Y espero que el comercio sea bueno. I'm sorry I'm going away to leave you, but perhaps I shall come back again when I'm an earl. And I wish you'd write to me, because we were always good friends. And if you write to me, here's where you must send your letter." Et si tu m'écris, voici où tu dois envoyer ta lettre. And he gave him a slip of paper. Y le dio una hoja de papel. Et il lui a donné un morceau de papier. "And my name isn't Cedric Errol any more; it's Lord Fauntleroy and—and good-bye, Dick." Et mon nom n'est plus Cedric Errol ; c'est Lord Fauntleroy et—et au revoir, Dick. Dick winked his eyes also, and yet they looked rather moist about the lashes. |zwinkte||||||||||||Wimpern Dick también guiñó los ojos y, sin embargo, parecían bastante húmedos alrededor de las pestañas. He was not an educated boot-black, and he would have found it difficult to tell what he felt just then if he had tried; perhaps that was why he didn't try, and only winked his eyes and swallowed a lump in his throat. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Lump||| No era un limpiabotas educado, y le habría resultado difícil decir lo que sentía en ese momento si lo hubiera intentado; tal vez por eso no lo intentó, y solo guiñó los ojos y se tragó un nudo en la garganta. "I wish ye wasn't goin' away," he said in a husky voice. ||||||||||heiseren| "Desearía que no te fueras", dijo con voz ronca. "Je voudrais que vous ne partiez pas," dit-il d'une voix rauque. Then he winked his eyes again. Puis il cligna à nouveau des yeux. Then he looked at Mr. Havisham, and touched his cap. Puis il regarda M. Havisham et toucha sa casquette. "Thanky, sir, fur bringin' him down here an' fur wot ye've done, He's—he's a queer little feller," he added. Merci||||||||||||||||||| Danke|||bringen||||||was|ihr habt|||||||Typ|| "Gracias, señor, si lo trajo aquí y si no lo ha hecho, es... es un tipo raro", agregó. "Merci, monsieur, d'avoir amené ce petit ici et pour ce que vous avez fait. C'est—c'est un drôle de petit gars," ajouta-t-il. "I've allers thort a heap of him. ||pensé|||| |allermeist|gedacht|||| "Tengo alergias a un montón de él. "J'ai toujours pensé beaucoup de lui. He's such a game little feller, an'—an' such a queer little un." Es un tipo tan apetecible, y... y tan raro. C'est un petit bonhomme si courageux, et—et c'est un petit drôle." And when they turned away he stood and looked after them in a dazed kind of way, and there was still a mist in his eyes, and a lump in his throat, as he watched the gallant little figure marching gayly along by the side of its tall, rigid escort. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||fröhlich||||||||| Y cuando se dieron la vuelta, él se puso de pie y los miró como aturdido, y todavía tenía los ojos empañados y un nudo en la garganta, mientras observaba la gallarda figurita que marchaba alegremente al lado de su escolta alta y rígida. Et quand ils se sont éloignés, il se tenait là, regardant après eux d'un air hébété, avec encore de la brume dans les yeux et une boule dans la gorge, tandis qu'il observait la vaillante petite silhouette marchant gaiement aux côtés de son escorte haute et rigide.

Until the day of his departure, his lordship spent as much time as possible with Mr. Hobbs in the store. Jusqu'au jour de son départ, sa seigneurie a passé autant de temps que possible avec M. Hobbs dans le magasin. Gloom had settled upon Mr. Hobbs; he was much depressed in spirits. Gloom se había decidido por el señor Hobbs; estaba muy deprimido de ánimo. Le poids de la mélancolie s'était installé sur M. Hobbs ; il était très déprimé. When his young friend brought to him in triumph the parting gift of a gold watch and chain, Mr. Hobbs found it difficult to acknowledge it properly. Cuando su joven amigo le llevó triunfalmente el regalo de despedida de un reloj y una cadena de oro, al señor Hobbs le resultó difícil reconocerlo debidamente. Lorsque son jeune ami lui apporta en triomphe le cadeau d'adieu d'une montre en or et d'une chaîne, M. Hobbs trouva difficile de l'accepter correctement. He laid the case on his stout knee, and blew his nose violently several times. ||||||starkem|||||||| Dejó el maletín sobre su robusta rodilla y se sonó la nariz con violencia varias veces. Il posa le boîtier sur son genou robuste et se moucha violemment plusieurs fois.

"There's something written on it," said Cedric,—"inside the case. "Il y a quelque chose d'écrit dessus," dit Cedric, — "à l'intérieur du boîtier." I told the man myself what to say. 'From his oldest friend, Lord Fauntleroy, to Mr. Hobbs. 'De son plus vieux ami, Lord Fauntleroy, à M. Hobbs. When this you see, remember me.' Quand tu verras cela, souviens-toi de moi.' I don't want you to forget me." Je ne veux pas que tu m'oublies." Mr. Hobbs blew his nose very loudly again.

"I sha'n't forget you," he said, speaking a trifle huskily, as Dick had spoken; "nor don't you go and forget me when you get among the British arrystocracy." |||||||||||||||||||||||||||aristocratie |werde nicht||||||||heiser||||||||||||||||||Aristokratie —No te olvidaré —dijo, hablando un poco roncamente, como había dicho Dick; "Tampoco te olvides de mí cuando te encuentres entre la aristocracia británica". "Je ne t'oublierai pas," dit-il, parlant d'une voix légèrement rauque, comme Dick avait parlé; "et n'oublie pas de m'oublier quand tu seras parmi l'aristocratie britannique." "I shouldn't forget you, whoever I was among," answered his lordship. |sollte nicht||||||||| "Je ne devrais pas t'oublier, peu importe qui je serais parmi," répondit son seigneur. "I've spent my happiest hours with you; at least, some of my happiest hours. "J'ai passé mes heures les plus heureuses avec toi; du moins, certaines de mes heures les plus heureuses." I hope you'll come to see me sometime. I'm sure my grandpapa would be very much pleased. Perhaps he'll write and ask you, when I tell him about you. You—you wouldn't mind his being an earl, would you, I mean you wouldn't stay away just because he was one, if he invited you to come?" "I'd come to see you," replied Mr. Hobbs, graciously. ||||||||höflich "Iría a verte", respondió el Sr. Hobbs, amablemente. So it seemed to be agreed that if he received a pressing invitation from the earl to come and spend a few months at Dorincourt Castle, he was to lay aside his republican prejudices and pack his valise at once. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Reisegepäck|| De modo que parecía acordado que si recibía una invitación apremiante del conde para pasar unos meses en el castillo de Dorincourt, dejaría a un lado sus prejuicios republicanos y prepararía su maleta de inmediato. Il semblait donc convenu que s'il recevait une invitation pressante de l'earl pour venir passer quelques mois au château de Dorincourt, il devait mettre de côté ses préjugés républicains et préparer sa valise immédiatement.

At last all the preparations were complete; the day came when the trunks were taken to the steamer, and the hour arrived when the carriage stood at the door. |||||||||||||||||Dampfer||||||||||| Por fin todos los preparativos estaban completos; llegó el día en que los baúles fueron llevados al vapor, y llegó la hora en que el carruaje se paró a la puerta. Enfin, toutes les préparations étaient achevées ; le jour est arrivé où les malles ont été mises sur le bateau à vapeur, et l'heure est arrivée où la voiture était à la porte. Then a curious feeling of loneliness came upon the little boy. dann|||||||||| Puis un étrange sentiment de solitude s'est emparé du petit garçon. His mamma had been shut up in her room for some time; when she came down the stairs, her eyes looked large and wet, and her sweet mouth was trembling. Su mamá había estado encerrada en su habitación durante algún tiempo; cuando bajó las escaleras, sus ojos se veían grandes y húmedos, y su dulce boca temblaba. Cedric went to her, and she bent down to him, and he put his arms around her, and they kissed each other. Cedric se acercó a ella, ella se inclinó hacia él, él la rodeó con sus brazos y se besaron. He knew something made them both sorry, though he scarcely knew what it was; but one tender little thought rose to his lips. |||||||||kaum||||||||||||| Sabía que algo los lamentaba a ambos, aunque apenas sabía qué era; pero un pequeño pensamiento tierno subió a sus labios.

"We liked this little house, Dearest, didn't we?" he said. "We always will like it, won't we?" "Yes—yes," she answered, in a low, sweet voice. "Yes, darling." And then they went into the carriage and Cedric sat very close to her, and as she looked back out of the window, he looked at her and stroked her hand and held it close. Y luego subieron al carruaje y Cedric se sentó muy cerca de ella, y cuando ella miró hacia atrás por la ventana, él la miró y le acarició la mano y la sostuvo cerca.

And then, it seemed almost directly, they were on the steamer in the midst of the wildest bustle and confusion; carriages were driving down and leaving passengers; passengers were getting into a state of excitement about baggage which had not arrived and threatened to be too late; big trunks and cases were being bumped down and dragged about; sailors were uncoiling ropes and hurrying to and fro; officers were giving orders; ladies and gentlemen and children and nurses were coming on board,—some were laughing and looked gay, some were silent and sad, here and there two or three were crying and touching their eyes with their handkerchiefs. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||déroulant des||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||Hektik|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||gezogen|in|Sailoren||entwirrten|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Taschentücher Et puis, il semblait presque immédiatement, qu'ils étaient sur le steamer au milieu de la plus folle agitation et confusion ; des voitures descendaient et laissaient des passagers ; les passagers commençaient à s'exciter au sujet des bagages qui n'étaient pas arrivés et menaçaient d'être trop en retard ; de grosses valises et caisses étaient renversées et traînées ; des marins déroulaient des cordes et couraient çà et là ; des officiers donnaient des ordres ; des dames, des messieurs, des enfants et des nourrices montaient à bord - certains riaient et avaient l'air joyeux, d'autres étaient silencieux et tristes, ici et là deux ou trois pleuraient et s'essuyaient les yeux avec leurs mouchoirs. Cedric found something to interest him on every side; he looked at the piles of rope, at the furled sails, at the tall, tall masts which seemed almost to touch the hot blue sky; he began to make plans for conversing with the sailors and gaining some information on the subject of pirates. ||||||||||||||||||enroulées|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||gefalteten||||||Masten||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Piraten Cedric encontró algo que le interesaba por todos lados; miró los montones de cabos, las velas plegadas, los altos mástiles que parecían casi tocar el cálido cielo azul; comenzó a hacer planes para conversar con los marineros y obtener alguna información sobre el tema de los piratas. Cedric trouva quelque chose d'intéressant de tous les côtés ; il regardait les tas de cordes, les voiles repliées, les grands, grands mâts qui semblaient presque toucher le chaud ciel bleu ; il commença à faire des plans pour converser avec les marins et obtenir des informations sur le sujet des pirates.

It was just at the very last, when he was standing leaning on the railing of the upper deck and watching the final preparations, enjoying the excitement and the shouts of the sailors and wharfmen, that his attention was called to a slight bustle in one of the groups not far from him. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||les dockers|||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||Geländer||||Deck||||||||||||||||Kaiarbeiter|||||||||||||||||| C'était juste à la toute fin, quand il se tenait appuyé sur la balustrade du pont supérieur et regardait les préparatifs finaux, profitant de l'excitation et des cris des marins et des dockers, que son attention fut attirée par une légère agitation dans l'un des groupes non loin de lui. Some one was hurriedly forcing his way through this group and coming toward him. It was a boy, with something red in his hand. It was Dick. He came up to Cedric quite breathless.

"I've run all the way," he said. "I've come down to see ye off. Trade's been prime! le commerce|| Handel|| ¡El comercio ha sido excelente! I bought this for ye out o' what I made yesterday.

He poured it all forth as if in one sentence. Lo derramó todo como en una frase. Il le déversa tout comme en une seule phrase. A bell rang, and he made a leap away before Cedric had time to speak. Sonó una campana y dio un salto antes de que Cedric tuviera tiempo de hablar. Une cloche a sonné, et il fit un bond en arrière avant que Cedric ait eu le temps de parler.

"Good-bye!" "Au revoir!" he panted. jadeó. "Wear it when ye get among the swells." And he darted off and was gone. Y salió disparado y se fue.

A few seconds later they saw him struggle through the crowd on the lower deck, and rush on shore just before the gang-plank was drawn in. ||||||||||||||||||||||passerelle|||| |||||||kämpfen||||||||||||||||||| Unos segundos más tarde lo vieron abrirse paso entre la multitud en la cubierta inferior y precipitarse hacia la orilla justo antes de que se retirara la pasarela.

He stood on the wharf and waved his cap. ||||Uferpromenade|||| Il se tenait sur le quai et agitait sa casquette.

Cedric held the handkerchief in his hand. Cedric tenait le mouchoir dans sa main.

The people on the wharf began to shout to their friends, and the people on the steamer shouted back:

"Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye, old fellow!" ¡Adiós, viejo!" Every one seemed to be saying, "Don't forget us. Write when you get to Liverpool. Escribe cuando llegues a Liverpool. Good-bye! Good-bye!" Little Lord Fauntleroy leaned forward and waved the red handkerchief. Little Lord Fauntleroy se inclinó hacia delante y agitó el pañuelo rojo.

"Good-bye, Dick!" he shouted, lustily. ||lustig "Thank you! Good-bye, Dick!" And the big steamer moved away, and the people cheered again, and Cedric's mother drew the veil over her eyes, and on the shore there was left great confusion; but Dick saw nothing save that bright, childish face and the bright hair that the sun shone on and the breeze lifted, and he heard nothing but the hearty childish voice calling "Good-bye, Dick!" Et le grand vapeur s'éloigna, et les gens applaudissaient à nouveau, et la mère de Cedric tira le voile sur ses yeux, et sur le rivage il restait une grande confusion ; mais Dick ne vit rien d'autre que ce visage brillant et enfantin et les cheveux brillants sur lesquels le soleil se réfléchissait et que la brise soulevait, et il n'entendit rien d'autre que la voix enfantine chaleureuse appelant "Au revoir, Dick !" as little Lord Fauntleroy steamed slowly away from the home of his birth to the unknown land of his ancestors. ||||fuhr||||||||||||||| alors que le petit Lord Fauntleroy s'éloignait lentement de la maison de sa naissance vers la terre inconnue de ses ancêtres.
