//Panel 1//
Baron Portsnell:
Edgar, don't pry into our business!
//Panel 3//
Edgar:
I know—it's an adult that we must choose to bring into the clan.
You can't stay in one place more than two years because of us.
"How odd…that Baron's children don't grow one bit."
//Panel 4//
Edgar:
I know it very, very well!
Baron Portsnell:
No need to shout. That's fine, as long as you understand!
//Panel 5//
Edgar's Narration:
But you people would never understand the depth of my solitude.
//Panel 6//
Edgar's Narration:
Time passes me by
In ten years…I'll wake up to the same morning—

Baron Portsnell:
I told you so many times never to make such a blunder!
What is this pathetic sight!
//Panel 2//
Sheila:
It's all right. Fortunately, this incident brought us closer to that nice doctor.
Baron Portsnell:
That's a separate issue!
Listen, Edgar, don't heal those wounds for at least a week.
//Panel 3//
Edgar:
They will be gone by tomorrow.
Baron Portsnell:
No, for humans it takes a week.
That's what the doctor told me.
Keep your wounds open!
//Panel 4//
Marybel:
Are you going to stay home? You're not going to school?
Edgar:
Uh-huh, not for a while.
//Panel 5//
Marybel:
Hmph. I was looking forward to you bringing home a friend.
Edgar:
Hush!
//Panel 7//
Baron Portsnell:
A friend? What do you mean by a friend?
Edgar:
Nothing!

//Panel 1//
Edgar's Narration:
In ten years… I'll be just as I am now.
//Panel 2//
Edgar's Narration:
Time will pass me by, overlooking me—
Clifford:
Well, it seems like your family has arrived.
Edgar's Narration:
In ten years…I'll wake up to the same morning—
//Panel 3//
Baron Portsnell:
Excuse us…
Clifford:
—Well, well, Baron…!
I just finished treating…

SFX:
SLAP!
//Panel 7//
Sheila:
—Darling.

There were more tricky sections to translate here. In the first panel, Edgar says literally something along the lines of, "Even if ten years pass, I'll be like this/as I am." Panel 2: "Time, pretending not to notice me, will go on past my side—" And then: "Even if ten years pass, facing the same morning—" So this is another example of the poetry that is delicate and difficult to translate from one language to another.

Anyway, the above passage reminds me of Groundhog Day. I know, Edgar doesn't literally repeat the same day over and over, but he is weary of the fact that in the bigger picture, nothing will essentially change for him. And this is despite all the different travels (both geographical, and through time) that he may experience. Anyway, that movie was a poignant comedy, while Edgar's plight is merely sad, and I detect some bitterness in him, too.

Female Patient:
Mmmm…
//Panel 4//
Female Patient:
Aaack!
Allan:
Doctor!
We have an injured person!
//Panel 6//
Allan:
Who was it…that woman…Is she your…
Clifford:
Don't misconstrue the situation. She was just thanking me for treating her cracked nail.
Lift your chin a bit.
//Panel 7//
Edgar:
I see: the doctors in this town are kind to women.
Clifford:
Children shouldn't speak so precociously.
//Panel 8//
Edgar:
…Children.
Clifford:
That's sarcasm. You can say such things in ten years or so, after you become an adult.

Student:
Ohhh!
SFX:
THUD
Edgar:
You'd better get the teacher to a doctor.
//Panel 4//
Allan:
Halt!
//Panel 5//
Edgar:
Let me go, what…
Carriage Driver:
You're joking, right?…why, look how he's bleeding!
Allan:
Stop! I'm Allan Twilight.
//Panel 6//
Carriage Driver:
At your service.
Allan:
Get inside!
//Panel 7//
Allan:
Take us to Dr. Clifford's in Rigby Street.
Carriage Driver:
Yes.

In Panel 4, in the original Japanese Allan literally says, "Carriage!" rather than, "Halt!" Based on some advice, I did try researching some Sherlock Holmes stories and so forth to find out the etiquette (ie, word choice) you would have used at the time to hail a carriage, but I came up empty. "Halt!" will have to do.

Very creative, edgy, dynamic use of panels and space to convey a sense of agitated motion and violence.
