Amor de Perdição 6.153 · 6.153

Would you have him tell the tale?

— Podéra não! Quer que este homem fique para ir contar a historia? Acha bonito? Lá v. s.^a, como é filho de ministro, não terá perigo; mas eu, que sou ferrador, posso contar que d’esta vez tenho o baraço no pescoço.

You bet I would! Would you have this man live to go and tell the tale? Do you think it pretty? You, sir, being a minister's son, will run no danger; but I, a farrier, may reckon that this time I've the noose round my neck.
