I went back with him to the “Admiral Benbow” (я вернулся с ним в «Адмирал Бенбоу»), and you cannot imagine a house in such a state of smash (вы представить себе не можете в каком беспорядке /находился/ дом; state — состояние, ситуация; smash — внезапное падение; шум, грохот; гибель, катастрофа); the very clock had been thrown down by these fellows (даже часы были сброшены /со стены/ этими парнями) in their furious hunt after my mother and myself (во время их неистовых поисков моей матери и меня; hunt — охота, ловля); and though nothing had actually been taken away (и хотя ничего фактически не было унесено) except the captain’s money-bag and a little silver from the till (кроме денежной сумки капитана и нескольких серебряных /монет/ из кассы)

, I could see at once that we were ruined (я мог видеть с первого взгляда, что мы были разорены). Mr. Dance could make nothing of the scene (мистер Данс не мог ничего понять там; scene — место происшествия, зрелище).

Mr. Dance stood there as he said, “like a fish out of water,” and all he could do was to despatch a man to B—— to warn the cutter. “And that,” said he, “is just about as good as nothing. They’ve got off clean, and there’s an end. Only,” he added, “I’m glad I trod on Master Pew’s corns;” for by this time he had heard my story.

“They got the money, you say (они взяли деньги, говоришь)? Well, then, Hawkins, what in fortune were they after (ну, тогда, Хокинс, чего же они /еще/ хотели; to be after — стараться получить что-то)? More money, I suppose (еще денег, полагаю)?”

“No, sir; not money, I think (нет, сэр, не денег, я думаю)

,” replied I (ответил я). “In fact, sir, I believe I have the thing in my breast-pocket (на самом деле, сэр, я думаю, что у меня есть та вещь, /которую они искали/, в нагрудном кармане); and, to tell you the truth, I should like to get it put in safety (и, по правде говоря, мне хотелось бы положить эту вещь в безопасность = безопасное место; safe — невредимый; защищенный от опасности; в безопасности).”

“To be sure, boy; quite right (конечно, мальчик, совершенно правильно),” said he. “I’ll take it, if you like (я возьму это, если хочешь).”

“I thought, perhaps, Dr Livesey—

(я думал, возможно, доктор Ливси…)” I began (начал я).
