“You brute, you (ах ты, тупая тварь; brute — жестокий, грубый или глупый человек; скотина)!” said Fearenside, climbing off the waggon with his whip in his hand (сказал Фиренсайд, слезая с повозки с кнутом в руке; to climb — карабкаться, взбираться; выбираться/изчего-либо/), while the dog watched him through the wheel (в то время как собака следила за ним через колесо = из-за колес). “Come here (иди сюда),” said Fearenside — “You’d better (тебе же лучше/не то хуже будет).”

They saw the dog’s teeth had slipped the hand, heard a kick, saw the dog execute a flanking jump and get home on the stranger’s leg, and heard the rip of his trousering. Then the finer end of Fearenside’s whip reached his property, and the dog, yelping with dismay, retreated under the wheels of the waggon. It was all the business of a swift half-minute. No one spoke, everyone shouted. The stranger glanced swiftly at his torn glove and at his leg, made as if he would stoop to the latter, then turned and rushed swiftly up the steps into the inn. They heard him go headlong across the passage and up the uncarpeted stairs to his bedroom.

“You brute, you!” said Fearenside, climbing off the waggon with his whip in his hand, while the dog watched him through the wheel. “Come here,” said Fearenside — “You’d better.”

Hall had stood gaping (Холл стоял, разинув рот).

“He wuz bit (она укусила его: «он был укушен»; wuz = was; to bite-bit-bitten),” said Hall. “I’d better go and see to ’en (пойду посмотрю, что с ним; ’en = him),” and he trotted after the stranger (и он быстро пошел за незнакомцем; to trot — идтирысью/олошади/; спешить, торопиться). He met Mrs. Hall in the passage (он встретил миссис Холл в коридоре).

“Carrier’s darg (собака возчика; darg = dog),” he said “bit ’en (укусила его).”

He went straight upstairs (он тут же поднялся по лестнице), and the stranger’s door being ajar (и, поскольку дверь /комнаты/ незнакомца была приоткрыта), he pushed it open and was entering without any ceremony (он распахнул ее и начал входить без церемоний; to push — толкать, пихать), being of a naturally sympathetic turn of mind (будучи по характеру человеком отзывчивым; turn of mind — склад/ума, характера/; sympathetic — сочувственный; сочувствующий).
