концов, он повернул не туда: «взял неправильный поворот»), and ran a few

steps past me (и пробежал в нескольких шагах от меня; past — мимо, за, по ту

сторону), towards the hamlet, crying (по направлению к деревне, крича): —

quarrel [`kwOrql] raging [`reIGIN] deserted [dI`zq:tId] revenge [rI`venG]

This quarrel was the saving of us; for while it was still raging, another sound

came from the top of the hill on the side of the hamlet — the tramp of horses

galloping. Almost at the same time a pistol-shot, flash and report, came from

the hedge-side. And that was plainly the last signal of danger; for the

buccaneers turned at once and ran, separating in every direction, one seaward

along the cove, one slant across the hill, and so on, so that in half a minute not

a sign of them remained but Pew. Him they had deserted, whether in sheer

panic or out of revenge for his ill words and blows, I know not; but there he

remained behind, tapping up and down the road in frenzy, and groping and

calling for his comrades. Finally he took the wrong turn, and ran a few steps

past me, towards the hamlet, crying: —

1. 'Johnny, Black Dog, Dirk (Джонни, Черный Пес, Дэрк),' and other names (/он

называл/ и другие имена), 'you won't leave old Pew, mates — not old Pew (вы

/же/ не оставите старого Пью, друзья, не оставите; won't = will not)!'

2. Just then the noise of horses topped the rise (сразу после этого шум = топот

лошадей доносился с /вершины/ холма; to top — покрывать, переваливать,

подниматься; rise —возвышенность,холм,восход), and four or five riders

came in sight in the moonlight (четыре или пять всадников показались в

лунном свете; to come in sight — появиться в поле зрения), and swept at full

gallop down the slope (и пронеслись во весь опор вниз по склону; to sweep —

сметать, сносить, мчаться).

3. At this Pew saw his error (тут Пью увидел свою ошибку), turned with a

scream (повернулся с воплем), and ran straight for the ditch (побежал прямо к

канаве), into which he rolled (в которую скатился). But he was on his feet again

in a second (но он был на ногах = поднялся через момент), and made another

dash (выскочил /на дорогу/; dash —

порыв, стремительное движение), now

utterly bewildered (теперь совершенно растерянный), right under the nearest of

the coming horses (прямо под /ноги/ ближайшей из приближающихся

лошадей).

1. The rider tried to save him, but in vain (наездник попытался спасти его, но

тщетно). Down went Pew with a cry that rang high into the night (Пью умер с

криком, который разорвал ночь; to go down — упасть, ослабеть, умереть; to

ring — звенеть, раздаваться); and the four hoofs trampled and spurned him and
