Taking her place on a worn and decidedly unaccommodating cushion, she realised, too late, that she had made a mistake, for the proximity to her hostess in which she had placed herself—it really was a very small sofa—created an unwilling and awkward condition of intimacy, like that between two young ladies at a debutantes’ ball who find themselves thrown together on the periphery of the dance floor for no other reason than a want of partners. And yet she pressed on.
Al ocupar su sitio sobre un cojín raído y nada confortable, comprendió, demasiado tarde, que había cometido un error, pues la proximidad con su anfitriona en la que se había puesto —era un sofá muy pequeño— creaba una sensación de intimidad incómoda y reticente, como la que se da entre dos jóvenes en una puesta de largo que acaban en la periferia del baile por la sola razón de no tener pareja. No obstante, insistió:
Criminalism is directed only in a very loose sense against the existing social order, even when its battle against law and order assumes American forms; to the thief and the coiner the slogans of communism cannot mean very much, and the burglar who goes about his work of nights on noiseless rubber soles is a handworker like any other handworker, he is conservative like all handworkers, and even the profession of the murderer, who with his knife between his teeth climbs up the unaccommodating wall, is not directed against the whole community, but is simply a private affair which he has to settle with his victim. There is no attempt to upset the existing regime.
El crimen sólo va contra la sociedad de una forma muy vaga, incluso cuando su lucha contra la burguesía adopta formas americanas. Si se implantara el comunismo, el ladrón y el falsificador de letras de cambio no sabrían qué hacer; y el desvalijador de cajas fuertes que, al amparo de la noche, acude a su trabajo provisto de silenciosas suelas de goma es un artesano como cualquier otro, y conservador como todos los artesanos; incluso la profesión del asesino que, con el cuchillo entre los dientes, escala un incómodo muro no constituye una amenaza para la comunidad en general, sino que se reduce a algo personal que el asesino debe solventar con su víctima.
Mrs. Touchett feared nothing in life save the prospect of departing from it, and regarded those tainted by even the mildest infection as potential and unconvincingly disguised agents of her extinction, and it was only good manners, which she prized as intensely as she deplored death, that induced her to bid Isabel now to join her in her repast. Isabel sat down beside the balustrade on a peculiarly unaccommodating iron chair—she often suspected her aunt of taking pride in the fact that only an anchorite could have considered comfortable those items of furniture in her house that were meant for sitting, reclining or sleeping on—and said that she would take only a cup of black tea and a slice of dry toast, since she felt as weak as a kitten.
La señora Touchett no temía nada en la vida excepto la posibilidad de abandonar este mundo, y consideraba a quienes sufrían la más leve infección agentes potenciales y mal disfrazados de su extinción, por lo que solo los buenos modales, que apreciaba tanto como deploraba la muerte, la indujeron a pedirle a Isabel que compartiera su colación con ella. Isabel se sentó al lado de la balaustrada en una silla de hierro especialmente incómoda —a menudo sospechaba que su tía se enorgullecía de que solo un anacoreta hubiese podido considerar cómodos los muebles de su casa concebidos para sentarse, apoyarse o dormir en ellos— y dijo que tomaría solo una taza de té y una tostada de pan, pues se sentía débil como un gatito.
