Tirant une bouffée de sa pipe, Coll se cala contre le dossier de sa chaise et laissa son regard se promener dans la pièce tout en écoutant d'une oreille distraite son frère qui s'escrimait à le convaincre. Libérés par l'armée depuis bientôt deux mois, ils avaient erré et vécu de petits travaux, se nourrissant le plus souvent de pain rassis et d'eau croupie. Seul Finlay avait trouvé un emploi stable : il était apprenti chez un cordonnier de la Haute-Ville, avait donc retrouvé le métier qu'il exerçait avant de s'engager. Alexander et Munro avaient décidé de partir pour la grande aventure, dans l'immensité du pays. Mais, lui, cela ne l'attirait pas particulièrement. Après plusieurs années de guerre, il souhaitait un peu de paix et de tranquillité. Son frère évoquait maintenant les moeurs libertines des Sauvagesses. Il l'interrompit brusquement :
- Pourquoi n'acceptes-tu pas l'offre de maître Dumoulin ? Tu pourrais t'installer à Québec avec Emilie... Elle n'attend que ça : que tu la demandes en mariage !
Alexander se tut, fixant la surface moussue du liquide qui oscillait dans son verre. Maître Dumoulin était un menuisier qui travaillait à la restauration de la grande cathédrale de Québec. Informé de ses talents de sculpteur par les ursulines, l'homme lui avait proposé de s'occuper de l'ornementation des bancs. C'était bien rémunéré et cela lui permettrait d'avoir une place d'apprenti aux côtés du maître. Mais il aspirait à autre chose. Le marché de la fourrure offrait tellement plus...
Cependant il y avait Emilie. La jeune femme se remettait difficilement de sa fausse couche. Evidemment, il était le père de l'enfant perdu. Mais, étrangement, il se sentait soulagé de ne pas avoir à assumer ce rôle. Bien qu'il cohabitât pratiquement avec Emilie, il n'arrivait pas à se décider à légaliser leur union. Il ne l'aimait pas vraiment et ne pouvait concevoir de l'épouser dans ces conditions. En fait, il se demandait s'il arriverait jamais à aimer une autre femme qu'Isabelle...

Dando una chupada a su pipa, Coll se recostó en el respaldo de la silla y dejó que su mirada recorriera la estancia, mientras escuchaba a medias a su hermano, que se empeñaba en convencerlo. Hacía casi dos meses que se habían licenciado del ejército y desde entonces habían errado y vivido de pequeñas faenas para alimentarse de pan duro y agua estancada la mayor parte de las veces. El único que había encontrado un empleo estable era Finlay: era aprendiz de zapatero en la Ciudad Alta. Así pues, volvía a ejercer la profesión que conocía antes de alistarse. Alexander y Munro habían decidido lanzarse a la gran aventura por la inmensidad del país. Pero eso a él no le atraía particularmente. Tras varios años de guerra, deseaba un poco de paz y tranquilidad. Su hermano estaba ahora evocando las costumbres libertinas de las salvajes. Él lo cortó bruscamente.
–¿Por qué no aceptas la oferta del maestro Dumoulin? Podrías instalarte en Quebec con Émilie... Ella no espera otra cosa: ¡que la pidas en matrimonio!
Alexander se quedó callado, mirando la superficie espumosa del líquido que temblaba en su vaso. El maestro Dumoulin era un carpintero que trabajaba en la restauración de la gran catedral de Quebec. Las ursulinas le habían informado de sus aptitudes como escultor, y el hombre le había propuesto ocuparse de la ornamentación de los bancos. Era un trabajo bien remunerado, que le permitiría ocupar un puesto de aprendiz junto al maestro. Pero él aspiraba a otra cosa. El mercado de las pieles ofrecía mucho más que eso...
Pero estaba Émilie. La joven se recuperaba lentamente de su aborto. Evidentemente, él era el padre de la criatura malograda. Pero, extrañamente, se sentía aliviado al no tener que asumir ese papel. Aunque prácticamente vivía con Émilie, no se decidía a legalizar su unión. En realidad, no la quería y no concebía casarse en esas condiciones. De hecho, se preguntaba si conseguiría amar a otra mujer que no fuera Isabelle...
| English to Spanish: Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's Gold
General field: Art/Literary

Knowles shrugged. He rather disapproved of a Sergeant calling a Captain a 'bastard', but there was no point in protesting. The Sergeant would look innocent and assure Knowles that the Captain's parents had never married, which was true, and anyway Patrick Harper had fought beside Sharpe for years and had a friendship with the Captain that Knowles rather envied. It had taken Knowles months to understand the friendship, which was not, as many officers thought, based on the fact that Sharpe had once been a private soldier, marching and fighting in the ranks, and now, elevated to the glories of the officers' mess, still sought out the company of the lower ranks. 'Once a peasant, always a peasant,' an officer had sneered, and Sharpe had heard, looked at the man, and Knowles had seen the fear come under the impact of those chilling, mocking eyes. Besides, Sharpe and Harper did not spend off-duty time together; the difference in rank made that impossible. But still, behind the formal relationship, Knowles saw the friendship. Both were big men, the Irishman hugely strong, and both confident in their abilities. Knowles could never imagine either out of uniform. It was as if they had been born to the job and it was on the battlefield, where most men thought nervously of their own survival, that Sharpe and Harper came together in an uncanny understanding. It was almost, Knowles thought, as if they were at home on a battlefield, and he envied them. | Translation - Spanish
Knowles se encogió de hombros. No aprobaba que un sargento llamara a su capitán “bastardo”, pero no era el momento de protestar. El sargento pondría cara de inocente y le aseguraría a Knowles que los padres del capitán nunca se habían casado, lo cual era cierto, y de todos modos Patrick Harper llevaba luchando muchos años y tenía una relación de amistad con el capitán que Knowles ciertamente envidiaba. A Knowles le había costado meses entender esta amistad, que no estaba basada, como muchos oficiales creían, en el hecho de que Sharpe hubiera sido en el pasado un soldado raso y hubiera desfilado y luchado con la tropa, y ahora, elevado a las glorias del rancho de oficiales, todavía buscara compañía en las graduaciones inferiores. “Un campesino es siempre un campesino”, había dicho con burla un oficial, y Shapre, que lo había oído, miró al hombre; y Knowles vio que el miedo surgía bajo el impacto de aquellos ojos helados y desafiantes. Además, Sharpe y Harper no pasaban juntos el tiempo franco de servicio; la diferencia de graduación hacía que no fuera posible. Pero incluso tras la relación formal, Knowles percibía la amistad. Ambos eran hombres corpulentos, el irlandés enormemente fuerte, y ambos seguros de su capacidad. Knowles no podía imaginarse a cualquiera de los dos sin el uniforme. Era como si hubieran nacido para ese trabajo y era en el campo de batalla, donde la mayoría de hombres piensa en su propia supervivencia, donde Sharpe y Harper se unían en un entendimiento sobrenatural. Era casi, pensaba Knowles, como si en el campo de batalla se sintieran como en casa, y él los envidiaba. |
