— Decidi fazer-vos a vontade, para sossego vosso e descanso meu. Hoje mesmo ou amanhã Peri deixará esta casa; mas enquanto ele aqui estiver, eu não quero, disse carregando ligeiramente sobre aquele monossílabo, que se lhe diga uma palavra sequer de desagrado. Peri sai desta casa porque lho peço, e não porque isto seja-lhe ordenado por alguém. Entendeis, minha mulher?
'I have decided to do as you wish, for your peace and my rest. This very day or tomorrow Peri will leave this house; but while he is here, I do not want' — he said, pressing lightly on that monosyllable — 'a single word of displeasure said to him. Peri leaves this house because I ask it of him, and not because it is ordered him by anyone. Do you understand, my wife?'
