Dracula - Bram Stoker, CHAPTER 24 - Dr. Seward's Phonograph Diary, part 2

CHAPTER 24 - Dr. Seward's Phonograph Diary, part 2

JONATHAN HARKER'S JOURNAL 4 October.--When I read to Mina, Van Helsing's message in the phonograph, the poor girl brightened up considerably. Already the certainty that the Count is out of the country has given her comfort. And comfort is strength to her. For my own part, now that his horrible danger is not face to face with us, it seems almost impossible to believe in it. Even my own terrible experiences in Castle Dracula seem like a long forgotten dream. Here in the crisp autumn air in the bright sunlight.

Alas! How can I disbelieve! In the midst of my thought my eye fell on the red scar on my poor darling's white forehead. Whilst that lasts, there can be no disbelief. Mina and I fear to be idle, so we have been over all the diaries again and again. Somehow, although the reality seem greater each time, the pain and the fear seem less. There is something of a guiding purpose manifest throughout, which is comforting. Mina says that perhaps we are the instruments of ultimate good. It may be! I shall try to think as she does. We have never spoken to each other yet of the future. It is better to wait till we see the Professor and the others after their investigations.

The day is running by more quickly than I ever thought a day could run for me again. It is now three o'clock.

JONATHAN HARKER'S JOURNAL 4 October.--When I read to Mina, Van Helsing's message in the phonograph, the poor girl brightened up considerably. 4 de outubro - Quando li para a Mina a mensagem de Van Helsing no fonógrafo, a pobre rapariga animou-se bastante. Already the certainty that the Count is out of the country has given her comfort. A certeza de que o Conde está fora do país já a conforta. And comfort is strength to her. E o conforto é força para ela. For my own part, now that his horrible danger is not face to face with us, it seems almost impossible to believe in it. Pela minha parte, agora que o seu terrível perigo não está frente a frente connosco, parece-me quase impossível acreditar nele. Even my own terrible experiences in Castle Dracula seem like a long forgotten dream. Até as minhas próprias experiências terríveis no Castelo Drácula parecem um sonho há muito esquecido. Here in the crisp autumn air in the bright sunlight. Aqui no ar fresco do outono, sob a luz do sol.

Alas! Ai de mim! How can I disbelieve! Como é que posso não acreditar! In the midst of my thought my eye fell on the red scar on my poor darling's white forehead. No meio do meu pensamento, o meu olhar caiu sobre a cicatriz vermelha na testa branca da minha pobre querida. Whilst that lasts, there can be no disbelief. Enquanto isso durar, não pode haver descrença. Mina and I fear to be idle, so we have been over all the diaries again and again. A Mina e eu temos medo de estar ociosos e, por isso, temos revisto todos os diários vezes sem conta. Somehow, although the reality seem greater each time, the pain and the fear seem less. De alguma forma, embora a realidade pareça maior de cada vez, a dor e o medo parecem menores. There is something of a guiding purpose manifest throughout, which is comforting. Existe algo com um propósito norteador manifesto por toda parte, que é reconfortante. Mina says that perhaps we are the instruments of ultimate good. يقول مينا أننا ربما نكون أدوات الخير في نهاية المطاف. Mina diz que talvez sejamos os instrumentos do bem supremo. It may be! Pode ser que sim! I shall try to think as she does. Vou tentar pensar como ela. We have never spoken to each other yet of the future. Nunca falámos um com o outro sobre o futuro. It is better to wait till we see the Professor and the others after their investigations. É melhor esperarmos até vermos o Professor e os outros depois das suas investigações.

The day is running by more quickly than I ever thought a day could run for me again. O dia está a passar mais depressa do que alguma vez pensei que um dia pudesse voltar a passar para mim. It is now three o'clock. São agora três horas.
