Question

It was charming to see how these girls danced. They had no spectators but the apple-pickers on the ladders. They were very glad to please them, but they danced to please themselves (or at least you would have supposed so); and you could no more help admiring, than they could help dancing. How they did dance!

Accepted Answer

Era encantador ver aquelas moças dançando. Ninguém as observava, salvo as colhedoras de maçã trepadas nas escadas. Estavam contentes em agradar às espectadoras, mas dançavam pelo simples prazer de dançar (ou, pelo menos, era o que se poderia supor); e nem era possível deixar de admirá-las, nem elas poderiam deixar de dançar. Como dançavam!
