He had never said as much before (прежде он никогда такого: «так много» не говорил), and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure (и я должен признать, «что» его слова доставили мне огромное удовольствие; to give; keen — острый; имеющий то или иное свойство в высокой степени), for I had often been piqued by his indifference to my admiration (поскольку меня часто огорчало его равнодушие к моему восхищению; to pique — уязвлять; раздражать) and to the attempts which I had made (и к попыткам, которые я предпринимал: «делал») to give publicity to his methods (/чтобы/ предать гласности его методы). I was proud too to think (также я был горд от мысли; to think — думать) that I had so far mastered his system (что я настолько овладел его системой; far — далеко; в значительной степени) as to apply it in a way which earned his approval (что применил ее таким способом, который заслужил его одобрение; way — путь; способ; to earn — зарабатывать; заслуживать). He now took the stick from my hands (он тотчас взял трость у меня из рук: «из моих рук»; to take) and examined it for a few minutes with his naked eyes (и изучал ее в течение нескольких минут невооруженным глазом; naked — голый; невооруженный /обходящийся без помощи какой-либо аппаратуры/). Then with an expression of interest (затем с выражением интереса = заинтересовавшись) he laid down his cigarette (он отложил свою папиросу; to lay — класть, положить) and, carrying the cane to the window (и, поднеся трость к окну), he looked over it again with a convex lens (/принялся/ тщательно изучать ее снова /при помощи/ увеличительного стекла; to look over — просматривать; тщательно изучать; convex lens — выпуклая линза).

"Interesting, though elementary (интересно, хотя и просто)," said he, as he returned to his favourite corner of the settee (сказал он, вернувшись в свой излюбленный угол дивана). "There are certainly one or two indications upon the stick (здесь на трости определенно есть одна или две подсказки). It gives us the basis for several deductions (это дает нам основу для некоторых умозаключений; several — некоторые, несколько /но не много/)."
