And the doctor it was
(и это был /действительно/ доктор). Although I was glad to hear the sound (хотя я был рад слышать звук = его голос), yet my gladness was not without admixture (но все-таки моя радость была не без примеси /стыда/). I remembered with confusion my insubordinate and stealthy conduct (я вспомнил со смущением о своем непослушном /поведении/ и тайном поступке /о том, что убежал из гарнизона/;margin [`mɑ:ʤɪn] admixture [əd`mɪkstʃə] confusion [kən`fju:ʒn] insubordinate [ɪnsə`bɔ:dnət] stealthy [`stelθɪ]
I WAS wakened — indeed, we were all wakened, for I could see even the sentinel shake himself together from where he had fallen against the door-post — by a clear, hearty voice hailing us from the margin of the wood: —
“Block-house, ahoy!” it cried. “Here’s the doctor.”
And the doctor it was. Although I was glad to hear the sound, yet my gladness was not without admixture. I remembered with confusion my insubordinate and stealthy conduct; and when I saw where it had brought me — among what companions and surrounded by what dangers — I felt ashamed to look him in the face.
He must have risen in the dark, for the day had hardly come
(он, должно быть, поднялся в темноте = до рассвета, потому что день едва начался); and when I ran to a loophole and looked out (и когда я подбежал к бойнице и посмотрел во двор), I saw him standing, like Silver once before, up to the mid-leg in creeping vapour (я увидел, что он стоял, как Сильвер когда-то, по колено в расползающемся/ползущем тумане;“You, doctor! Top o’ the morning to you, sir
(доктор, доброе утро, сэр)!” cried Silver, broad awake and beaming with good-nature in a moment (воскликнул Сильвер, полностью проснувшись в один миг и сияя благодушием). “Bright and early, to be sure (веселый и ранний, конечно = вы рано поднялись); and it’s the early bird, as the saying goes, that gets the rations (как раз ранняя птаха, как в пословице говорится, и получает пищу). George, shake up your timbers, son, and help Dr. Livesey over the ship’s side (Джордж, очнись: «встряхни свои деревяшки» и помоги доктору Ливси /взойти/ на борт судна). All a-doin’ well, your patients was — all well and merry (все в порядке с вашими пациентами, все в хорошем состоянии и веселые).”So he pattered on, standing on the hill-top, with his crutch under his elbow
(так он тараторил, стоя на вершине холма с костылем под локтем;vapour [`veɪpə] elbow [`elbəu] patients [`peɪʃənts] manner [`mænə]

So he pattered on, standing on the hill-top, with his crutch under his elbow, and one hand upon the side of the log-house — quite the old John in voice, manner, and expression.
