He rarely went abroad by daylight (он редко выходил из дому днем; abroad — заграницей; вне дома; из дому), but at twilight he would go out muffled up invisibly (но в сумерки он выходил, закутанный с головы до ног: «невидимо»), whether the weather were cold or not (все равно, была ли погода холодной или нет; whether or not — такилииначе, влюбомслучае), and he chose the loneliest paths (и выбирал самые уединенные тропинки/дорожки; to choose; lonely — одинокий; пустынный) and those most overshadowed by trees and banks (причем наиболее затененные деревьями или скрытые насыпями; to overshadow — затемнять, затенять; закрывать; bank — берег/реки/; насыпь, вал).

He rarely went abroad by daylight, but at twilight he would go out muffled up invisibly, whether the weather were cold or not, and he chose the loneliest paths and those most overshadowed by trees and banks. His goggling spectacles and ghastly bandaged face under the penthouse of his hat, came with a disagreeable suddenness out of the darkness upon one or two home-going labourers, and Teddy Henfrey, tumbling out of the “Scarlet Coat” one night, at half-past nine, was scared shamefully by the stranger’s skull-like head (he was walking hat in hand) lit by the sudden light of the opened inn door.
