venture [`venCq] haste [heIs] forth [fLT] noiseless [`nOIzlIs] relief [rI`lJf]

My heart was beating finely when we two set forth in the cold night upon this

dangerous venture. A full moon was beginning to rise and peered redly

through the upper edges of the fog, and this increased our haste, for it was

plain, before we came forth again, that all would be as bright as day, and our

departure exposed to the eyes of any watchers. We slipped along the hedges,

noiseless and swift, nor did we see or hear anything to increase our terrors,

till, to our relief, the door of the 'Admiral Benbow' had closed behind us.

1. I slipped the bolt at once (я задвинул засов сразу же), and we stood and panted

for a moment in the dark (мы стояли и тяжело дышали минуту = какое-то

время в темноте; to pant — пыхтеть, частo и тяжело дышать), alone in the

house with the dead captain's body (одни в доме с мертвым телом капитана).

Then my mother got a candle in the bar (затем моя мать взяла свечу в баре; bar

— стойка,буфет,бар), and, holding each other's hands (и, держа руки друг

друга = держась за руки), we advanced into the parlour (мы вошли в комнату;

to advance — двигаться /вперед/, шагать, входить). He lay as we had left him,

on his back (он лежал, как мы /и/ оставили его, на спине), with his eyes open,

and one arm stretched out (с открытыми глазами и вытянув одну руку).

2. 'Draw down the blind, Jim (опусти шторы, Джим; blind — штора, занавеска,

жалюзи),' whispered my mother (прошептала мать); 'they might come and watch

outside (они могут подойти и следить снаружи). And now,' said she, when I had

done so (сказала она, когда я сделал это), 'we have to get the key off that (мы

должны снять ключ с того /сундука/); and who's to touch it, I should like to

know (и кто же /решится/ дотронуться до него, хотела бы я знать)!' and she

1. I went down on my knees at once (я опустился на колени сразу). On the floor

close to his hand there was a little round of paper (на полу, возле его руки лежал

маленький кружок бумаги; close to — близко от, около), blackened on the one

side (затемненный = черный с одной стороны). I could not doubt that this was

the black spot (я не мог сомневаться, что это черная метка); and taking it up, I

found written on the other side (и, поднимая ее, я обнаружил написанное на

одной стороне), in a very good, clear hand (очень хорошим, четким: «чистым»
