cried the blind man, Pew. 'They were here no time ago — they had the door
bolted when I tried it. Scatter lads, and find 'em.'
3. 'Sure enough, they left their glim here,' said the fellow from the window.
1. 'Scatter and find 'em! Rout the house out (переройте /весь/ дом;

2. Then there followed a great to-do through all our old inn (затем последовала
великая суматоха = ужасный бардак во всем нашем старом трактире;
повсюду;
опрокидывалась), door kicked in (дверь взломали), until the very rocks re-

clearly audible through the night (был снова ясно слышим в ночи), but this time
twice repeated (но в этот раз дважды повторился). I had thought it to be the

1. 'Scatter and find 'em! Rout the house out!' reiterated Pew striking with his
stick upon the road.
2. Then there followed a great to-do through all our old inn heavy feet
pounding to and fro, furniture thrown over, door kicked in, until the very
rocks re-echoed, and the men came out again, one after another, on the road,
and declared that we were nowhere to be found. And just then the same

money was once more clearly audible through the night, but this time twice
repeated. I had thought it to be the blind man's trumpet, so to speak,

2. 'Budge, you skulk (убираться, бездельники)!' cried Pew. Dirk was a fool and
coward from the first (Дэрк был дураком и трусом с самого начала = всегда) —
