The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde — Chapter 9 in Spanish
By Robert Louis Stevenson
"Ahí está, señor," dije, señalando el cajón, donde estaba en el suelo detrás de una mesa y aún cubierto con la sábana. “There it is, sir,” said I, pointing to the drawer, where it lay on the floor behind a table and still covered with the sheet.
Se lanzó hacia él, luego se detuvo y puso su mano en el corazón; podía escuchar sus dientes rechinar con la acción convulsiva de su mandíbula; y su rostro era tan horrible de ver que me alarmé tanto por su vida como por su razón. He sprang to it, and then paused, and laid his hand upon his heart; I could hear his teeth grate with the convulsive action of his jaws; and his face was so ghastly to see that I grew alarmed both for his life and reason.
"Tranquilízate," dije. “Compose yourself,” said I.
Me dirigió una sonrisa terrible, y como si con la decisión de la desesperación, arrancó la sábana. He turned a dreadful smile to me, and as if with the decision of despair, plucked away the sheet. A la vista del contenido, emitió un grito de alivio tan inmenso que quedé petrificado. At sight of the contents, he uttered one loud sob of such immense relief that I sat petrified. Y al momento siguiente, en una voz que ya estaba bastante bien controlada, "¿Tienes un vaso graduado?" preguntó. And the next moment, in a voice that was already fairly well under control, “Have you a graduated glass?” he asked.
