3. 'At Bristol, in banks and places,' answered his companion. 'It were,' said

the cook; 'it were when we weighed anchor. But my old missis has it all by

now. And the ''Spy-glass'' is sold, lease and good-will and rigging; and the old

girl's off to meet me. I would tell you where, for I trust you; but it 'ud make

jealousy among the mates.'

1. 'And can you trust your missis (а вы можете доверять своей хозяйке = жене)?'

asked the other.

2. 'Gentlemen of fortune (джентльмены удачи),' returned the cook (ответил кок),

'usually trusts little among themselves (обычно мало доверяют друг другу:

«среди себя»), and right they are (и они правы = правильно делают), you may

lay to it. But I have a way with me, I have (но меня не проведешь). When a mate

brings a slip on his cable (если какой-нибудь моряк отпустит канат /чтобы я

имею в виду, кто-то, кто знает меня, старого Джона) — it won't be in the same

world — that old John (он не будет в том же мире = не жилец на этом свете).

There was some that was feared of Pew (некоторые боялись Пью), and some that

was feared of Flint (другие боялись Флинта); but Flint his own self was feared of

me (но сам Флинт боялся меня). Feared he was, and proud (боялся, и гордился

= отчаянной командой на море, /люди/ Флинта); the devil himself would have

been feared to go to sea with them (сам дьявол побоялся бы выйти с ними в

company (и ты сам видел, как легко я составляю компанию = что я

общительный); but when I was quartermaster (но когда я был

квартирмейстером), lambs wasn't the word for Flint's old buccaneers (овечки не

было словом для /обозначения/ старых пиратов Флинта = пираты Флинта

были отнюдь не паиньками). Ah, you may be sure of yourself in old John's ship

(о, можешь быть уверен в /дисциплине/ на корабле старого Джона).'

1. 'Well, I tell you now (скажу вам теперь /честно/),' replied the lad (ответил

парень), 'I didn't half a quarter like the job (мне не нравилось совсем: «на

половину четверти» это дело) till I had this talk with you, John (пока я не

поговорил: «имел этот разговор» с вами, Джон); but there's my hand on it now

(но вот моя рука на это = я согласен теперь).'

2. 'And a brave lad you were, and smart, too (храбрый парень ты, и умен к тому
