“The next I heard of Frank was that he was in Montana (следующее, что я узнала о Фрэнке, было то, что он в Монтане), and then he went prospecting in Arizona (потом он уехал искать золото в Аризону; to prospect — проводить разведку, искать /полезные ископаемые/), and then I heard of him from New Mexico (а затем я услышала о нем из Нью-Мексико = узнала, что он в Нью-Мексико). After that came a long newspaper story about how a miners’ camp had been attacked by Apache Indians (потом появилась длинная газетная статья о том, как на лагерь золотодобытчиков напали индейцы-апачи), and there was my Frank’s name among the killed (и в списке убитых: «среди убитых» было имя Фрэнка). I fainted dead away (я упала без чувств), and I was very sick for months after (и очень тяжело болела несколько месяцев). Pa thought I had a decline (папа думал, что у меня чахотка; decline — падение; упадок /сил/; ухудшение /здоровья/; изнурительная болезнь, особенно чахотка) and took me to half the doctors in ‘Frisco (и показал меня половине докторов во Фриско = водил по докторам Фриско). Not a word of news came for a year and more (больше года не было ни слова вестей /от Фрэнка/), so that I never doubted that Frank was really dead (и я не сомневалась, что он на самом деле умер). Then Lord St. Simon came to ‘Frisco (затем лорд Сент-Саймон приехал в Фриско), and we came to London (мы отправились в Лондон), and a marriage was arranged (договорились о свадьбе), and pa was very pleased (и папа был очень доволен), but I felt all the time that no man on this earth would ever take the place in my heart (но я все время чувствовала, что ни один мужчина в мире: «на этой земле» никогда не займет в моем сердце место) that had been given to my poor Frank (отданное моему бедному Фрэнку).
