exhausted [Ig`zLstId] mentioned [`menSnd] wringing [`rININ] annoyance [q`nOIqns]

1. In one way, indeed, he bade fair to ruin us; for he kept on staying week after week, and at last month after month so that all the money had been long exhausted, and still my father never plucked up the heart to insist on having more. If ever he mentioned it, the captain blew through his nose so loudly, that you might say he roared, and stared my poor father out of the room. I have seen him wringing his hand after such a rebuff, and I am sure the annoyance and the terror he lived in must have greatly hastened his early and unhappy death.

1. All the time he lived with us (за все то время, /которое/ он жил с нами) the captain made no change whatever in his dress (капитан не сделал никакого изменения совсем в одежде = не сделал какого-либо) but to buy some stockings from hawker (кроме как купил несколько пар чулок у разносчика). One of the cocks of his hat having fallen down (один из краев его шляпы обвис; to fall down — падать; /мягкие шляпы носились с одной или более сторонами, поднятыми и прикрепленными к макушке, эти поднятые края назывались ‘cocks’/), he let it hang from that day forth (он оставил его висеть /так/ с этого дня), though it was a great annoyance when it blew (хотя это было большим неудобством при ветре: «когда это дуло»). I remember the appearance of his coat (помню наружность его кафтана), which he patched himself upstairs in his room (который он латал сам наверху в своей комнате), and which, before the end (и который, в конце концов: «перед концом»), was nothing but patches (был ничем, кроме заплаток = превратился в лохмотья).

2. He never wrote or received a letter (он никогда не писал или получал = и не получал письма), and he never spoke with any but the neighbours (не говорил ни с кем, кроме соседей), and with these, for the most part (/да/ и с теми, большей частью), only when drunk on rum (только когда напивался рому). The great sea-chest none of us had ever seen open (большой морской сундук никто из нас никогда не видел открытым).
