“Dear, deary me,” cried my mother, “what a disgrace upon the house! And your poor father sick!”

In the meantime, we had no idea what to do to help the captain, nor any other thought but that he had got his death — hurt in the scuffle with the stranger. I got the rum, to be sure, and tried to put it down his throat; but his teeth were tightly shut, and his jaws as strong as iron. It was a happy relief for us when the door opened and Doctor Livesey came in, on his visit to my father.

“Oh, doctor,” we cried, “what shall we do (что /следует/ нам делать)? Where is he wounded (куда он ранен)?”

“Wounded (ранен)? A fiddle-stick’s end (чепуха: «конец скрипичной палочки»)!” said the doctor. “No more wounded than you or I (не более ранен, чем вы или я). The man has had a stroke (у него был удар), as I warned him (как я предупреждал его). Now, Mrs Hawkins, just you run upstairs to your husband (сейчас, миссис Хокинс, просто бегите наверх к вашему мужу), and tell him, if possible, nothing about it (и скажите ему, если возможно, ничего об этом = ничего об этом не рассказывайте). For my part (с моей стороны), I must do my best to save this fellow’s trebly worthless life (я должен сделать свое лучшее = постараюсь спасти трижды никчемную жизнь этого товарища); and Jim, you get me a basin (Джим, принеси мне таз).”

“Wounded? A fiddle-stick’s end!” said the doctor. “No more wounded than you or I. The man has had a stroke, as I warned him. Now, Mrs Hawkins, just you run upstairs to your husband, and tell him, if possible, nothing about it. For my part, I must do my best to save this fellow’s trebly worthless life; and Jim, you get me a basin.”

When I got back with the basin (когда я вернулся с тазом), the doctor had already ripped up the captain’s sleeve (доктор уже вспорол рукав капитана), and exposed his great sinewy arm (и обнажил его большую мускулистую руку; to expose — выставлять на показ, обнажать; sinew — сухожилие; мускулатрура). It was tattooed in several places (она была татуирована в нескольких местах). “Here’s luck (вот удача = на счастье),” “A fair wind (попутный ветер),” and “Billy Bones his fancy (удачи Билли Бонсу; fancy — увлечение, пристрастие),” were very neatly and clearly executed on the forearm (были очень аккуратно и четко выполнены на предплечье); and up near the shoulder (/вверху/ возле плеча) there was a sketch of a gallows and a man hanging from it (был рисунок виселицы и человека, свисающего с = висящего на ней) — done, as I thought, with great spirit (сделано, как я подумал, с великой живостью; spirit — дух; воодушевление, задор).

“Prophetic (пророческий /рисунок/),” said the doctor, touching this picture with his finger (сказал доктор, трогая эту картину пальцем). “And now, Master Billy Bones (а теперь, капитан Билли Бонс; master — господин, капитан), if that be your name (если это ваше имя), we’ll have a look at the colour of your blood (посмотрим на цвет вашей крови). Jim,” he said, “are you afraid of blood (ты боишься крови)?”
