Audiobook Dictation: “He was desperately in love, and…”

He was desperately in love, and would have taken great chances to win her under ordinary circumstances, but now--now what? Supposing she had found out something?

Estava perdidamente apaixonado, e em circunstâncias normais teria corrido grandes riscos para conquistá-la, mas agora... agora o quê? E se ela tivesse descoberto alguma coisa?

It would be just like this to happen as things were going now. Meanwhile he had not sent the money.

Seria bem típico acontecer isso, do jeito que as coisas andavam. Enquanto isso, ele não tinha enviado o dinheiro.

He strolled up and down the polished floor of the resort, his hands in his pockets, his brow wrinkled, his mouth set.

Andava de um lado para o outro no assoalho encerado do estabelecimento, as mãos nos bolsos, a testa franzida, a boca cerrada.

He was getting some vague comfort out of a good cigar, but it was no panacea for the ill which affected him.

Tirava algum vago conforto de um bom charuto, mas não era panaceia para o mal que o afligia.

Every once in a while he would clinch his fingers and tap his foot--signs of the stirring mental process he was undergoing.

De vez em quando cerrava os dedos e batia o pé, sinais do agitado processo mental por que passava.

He drank more brandy and soda than he had any evening in months.

Bebeu mais conhaque com soda do que em qualquer outra noite em meses.

He was altogether a fine example of great mental perturbation.

No conjunto, era um belo exemplo de grande perturbação mental.

For all his study nothing came of the evening except this--he sent the money.

Apesar de todas as suas reflexões, nada resultou da noite exceto isto: ele enviou o dinheiro.
