Como vocês traduziriam "hobbled off" the kitchen?
sugestões:
saiu manquitolando da cozinha
claudicou para fora da cozinha



"She bent her head and hobbled off to the kitchen, clasping the old fish bag that held her cleaning things and an apron and a pair of felt shoes."

A definição de “hobble: to walk unevenly, in an impeded manner = andar de forma irregular, com dificuldade”

A tradução seria, em portugues do brasil, algo como: "Tombou a cabeça e, agarrando a velha sacola de pesca que continha seu material de limpeza, um avental e um par de chinelos de feltro, saiu manquitolando da cozinha."

Poderia ter escolhido "coxeando" "claudicando"(este muito formal) ou "mancando" mas o texto (http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-ManGard-t1-g1-t6.html) parece ter um tom pitoresco, humoristico, que na minha opinião justifica o coloquial "manquitolar"

Explanation:
I don't think she was limping necessarily, just shuffling along in the way old people do (some old people, I should qualify).
