holding on to Dogger's belt (держась за пояс Доггера), the supervisor gave the

word (надзиратель отдал приказание), and the party struck out at a bouncing trot

on the road to Dr Livesey's house (и отряд поскакал крупной рысью к дому

доктора Ливси; to strike out — направляться; on the road — в дороге, в пути).

1. 'Perfectly right,' he interrupted, very cheerily, 'perfectly right — a

gentleman and a magistrate. And, now I come to think of it, I might as well

ride round there myself and report to him or squire. Master Pew's dead, when

all's done; not that I regret it, but he's dead, you see, and people will make it

out against an officer of his Majesty's revenue, if make it out they can. Now,

I'll tell you, Hawkins: if you like, I'll take you along.'

2. I thanked him heartily for the offer, and we walked back to the hamlet

where the horses were. By the time I had told mother of my purpose they were

all in the saddle.

3. 'Dogger,' said Mr Dance, 'you have a good horse; take up this lad behind

you.'

4. As soon as I was mounted, holding on to Dogger's belt, the supervisor gave

the word, and the party struck out at a bouncing trot on the road to Dr

Livesey's house.

1. WE rode hard all the way (мы мчались во весь опор всю дорогу; to ride hard

— нестись), till we drew up before Dr Livesey's door (пока не остановились

перед дверью доктора Ливси; to draw up — остановиться, подтянуться). The

house was all dark to the front (дом был весь темный с фасада).

2. Mr. Dance told me to jump down and knock (сказал мне спрыгнуть /с лошади/

и постучать /в дверь/), and Dogger gave me a stirrup to descend by (Доггер

подставил мне стремя, чтобы /удобнее было/ сойти; to descend —

спуститься). The door was opened almost at once by the maid (дверь была

открыта почти сразу служанкой).

3. 'Is Dr. Livesey in (доктор Ливси дома)?' I asked.

4. No, she said; he had come home in the afternoon (он приходил домой днем),

but had gone up to the Hall to dine and pass the evening with the squire (но ушел

в усадьбу пообедать и провести вечер со сквайром; hall — усадьба, поместье,

вестибюль).

1. 'So there we go, boys (тогда туда мы идем, парни),' said Mr. Dance.

2. This time, as the distance was short (на этот раз: «время», так как расстояние

было коротким), I did not mount (я не сел на лошадь), but ran with Dogger's

stirrup-leather to the lodge gates (а побежал, /держась/ за стремянной ремень

Доггера, к воротам парка), and the long, leafless, moonlit avenue (и /затем/ по

длинной, безлиственной, освещенной луной улице; moon — луна) to where the
