iba, lo cual era una especulación terrible. A veces, recuerdo, me entregaba a pensamientos sobre mi hogar y Peggotty; y a esforzarme, de un modo ciego y confuso, por recordar cómo me había sentido y qué clase de chico solía ser antes de morder al señor Murdstone: algo que no lograba esclarecer de ningún modo, pues me parecía haberlo mordido en una antigüedad remota.
The night was not so pleasant as the evening, for it got chilly; and being put between two gentlemen (the rough-faced one and another) to prevent my tumbling off the coach, I was nearly smothered by their falling asleep, and completely blocking me up. They squeezed me so hard sometimes, that I could not help crying out, “Oh! If you please!”—which they didn’t like at all, because it woke them.
Opposite me was an elderly lady in a great fur cloak, who looked in the dark more like a haystack than a lady, she was wrapped up to such a degree. This lady had a basket with her, and she hadn’t known what to do with it, for a long time, until she found that on account of my legs being short, it could go underneath me.
It cramped and hurt me so, that it made me perfectly miserable; but if I moved in the least, and made a glass that was in the basket rattle against something else (as it was sure to do), she gave me the cruellest poke with her foot, and said, “Come, don’t you fidget. Your bones are young enough, I’m sure!”
Al fin salió el sol, y entonces mis compañeros parecieron dormir más tranquilos. Las dificultades bajo las cuales habían penado toda la noche, y que se habían manifestado en los más terroríficos estertores y ronquidos, son inconcebibles. A medida que el sol ascendía, su sueño se hacía más ligero, y así, poco a poco, fueron despertando uno por uno.
