Just when they came to the bend, a terrific uproar made them stop abruptly; they saw charging down at break-neck speed towards them, zigzagging across the road, what seemed to be a confused mass of horses, wheels, and barrels.
Cuando iban a alcanzar este recodo, un ruido infernal les hizo pararse en seco: un revoltijo de caballos, de ruedas, de toneles, zigzagueando de un lado a otro del camino, se precipitaba hacia ellos con una rapidez vertiginosa;
“We had already given all those we collected to the Fiona,” Temeraire said, “and if those were not enough, then Messoria and Immortalis could do very well taking back the rest, without us,” he finished defiantly, “so Sutton had no right to complain, if we liked to go; and hang orders anyway.” Laurence did not argue with him; he had no wish of giving any further distress, and in any case, Temeraire’s insubordination having been answered by a success so improbable, he would certainly not be inclined to listen to any criticism on the subject: the sort of break-neck reckless venture crowned inevitably, Laurence supposed, by either triumph or disaster;
—Ya habíamos subido a bordo de la Fiona todos los que llevábamos encima y si con eso no bastaba, Messoria e Immortalis podían llevar el resto sin que les hiciésemos falta —concluyó el dragón, desafiante—, así que Sutton no tenía ningún derecho a quejarse si nos queríamos ir… Y de todos modos, al infierno con las órdenes. Laurence no discutió con él, pues no deseaba aumentar la angustia de Temerario y en cualquier caso, la recompensa a su insubordinación era que se había salido con la suya. Sin duda, no iba a mostrarse receptivo a oír ninguna crítica sobre ese tema. Era la clase de aventura vertiginosa y alocada coronada por el éxito o el fracaso, sin término medio, suponía Laurence.
