Audiobook Dictation: “She had married a vulgar man…”

She had married a vulgar man; and, though she had not become like the man, she had become vulgar.

Casara-se com um homem vulgar; e, embora não tivesse ficado como ele, tornara-se vulgar.

She was not an eligible companion for Mr. Wharton's daughter,--a matter as to which the father had not given himself proper opportunities of learning the facts.

Não era companhia adequada para a filha do sr. Wharton, assunto sobre o qual o pai não se dera as devidas oportunidades de conhecer os fatos.

An aunt in his close neighbourhood was so great a comfort to him,--so ready and so natural an assistance to him in his difficulties!

Uma tia na sua vizinhança próxima era para ele um conforto tão grande, uma ajuda tão pronta e tão natural em suas dificuldades!

But Emily Wharton was not in the least like her aunt, nor had Mrs. Wharton been at all like Mrs. Roby.

Mas Emily Wharton não se parecia em nada com a tia, nem a sra. Wharton se parecera em nada com a sra. Roby.

No doubt the contact was dangerous.

Sem dúvida o contato era perigoso.

Injury had perhaps already been done.

Talvez o dano já tivesse sido feito.

It may be that some slightest soil had already marred the pure white of the girl's natural character.

Pode ser que alguma levíssima mancha já tivesse maculado o branco puro do caráter natural da moça.

But if so, the stain was as yet too impalpable to be visible to ordinary eyes.

Mas, se assim fosse, a mancha era ainda impalpável demais para ser visível aos olhos comuns.

Emily Wharton was a tall, fair girl, with grey eyes, rather exceeding the average proportions as well as height of women.

Emily Wharton era uma moça alta e loura, de olhos cinzentos, que excedia um pouco a média das proporções e da altura das mulheres.
