| "I signed the paper as directed, and the lawyer took it away with him. | - Скажи Мэри, чтобы затопила камин в моей комнате и пошла за Фордхэмом, хоршемским юристом". |
| The singular incident made, as you may think, the deepest impression upon me, and I pondered over it and turned it every way in my mind without being able to make anything of it. | Я сделал все, как он велел. |
| Yet I could not shake off the vague feeling of dread which it left behind, though the sensation grew less keen as the weeks passed and nothing happened to disturb the usual routine of our lives. | Когда приехал юрист, меня позвали в комнату дяди. |
| I could see a change in my uncle, however. | Пламя ярко пылало, а на решетке камина толстым слоем лежал пепел, по-видимому, от сожженной бумаги. |
| He drank more than ever, and he was less inclined for any sort of society. | Рядом стояла открытая пустая шкатулка. |
| Most of his time he would spend in his room, with the door locked upon the inside, but sometimes he would emerge in a sort of drunken frenzy and would burst out of the house and tear about the garden with a revolver in his hand, screaming out that he was afraid of no man, and that he was not to be cooped up, like a sheep in a pen, by man or devil. | Взглянув на нее, я невольно вздрогнул, так как заметил на внутренней стороне крышки тройное |
| When these hot fits were over, however, he would rush tumultuously in at the door and lock and bar it behind him, like a man who can brazen it out no longer against the terror which lies at the roots of his soul. | "К" - точно такое же, какое я сегодня утром видел на конверте. |
| At such times I have seen his face, even on a cold day, glisten with moisture, as though it were new raised from a basin. | "Я хочу, Джон, - сказал дядя, - чтобы ты был свидетелем при составлении завещания. |
| "Well, to come to an end of the matter, Mr. Holmes, and not to abuse your patience, there came a night when he made one of those drunken sallies from which he never came back. | Я оставляю свое поместье моему брату, твоему отцу, от которого оно, несомненно, перейдет к тебе. |
| We found him, when we went to search for him, face downward in a little green-scummed pool, which lay at the foot of the garden. | Если ты сможешь мирно пользоваться им, тем лучше. |
| There was no sign of any violence, and the water was but two feet deep, so that the jury, having regard to his known eccentricity, brought in a verdict of 'suicide.' | Если же ты убедишься, что это невозможно, то последуй моему совету, мой мальчик, и отдай поместье своему злейшему врагу. |
| But I, who knew how he winced from the very thought of death, had much ado to persuade myself that he had gone out of his way to meet it. | Мне очень грустно, что приходится оставлять тебе такое наследство, но я не знаю, какой оборот примут дела. |
| The matter passed, however, and my father entered into possession of the estate, and of some ? 14,000, which lay to his credit at the bank." | Будь любезен, подпиши бумагу в том месте, какое тебе укажет мистер Фордхэм". |
