scared [sked] valet ['vaelt, — le] intuitive [n'tju:tv] hunch [hnt]

“You know, I’m dead scared of that man. Oh! not the valet — the other. His master. Master, indeed! There’s something wrong about that man. My daughter always says I’m very intuitive. ‘When Mamma gets a hunch, she’s dead right,’ that’s what my daughter says. And I’ve got a hunch about that man. He’s next door to me and I don’t like it. I put my grips against the communicating door last night. I thought I heard him trying the handle. Do you know, I shouldn’t be a bit surprised if that man turned out to be a murderer — one of these train robbers you read about. I daresay I’m foolish, but there it is. I’m absolutely scared to death of the man! My daughter said I’d have an easy journey, but somehow I don’t feel happy about it. It may be foolish, but I feel as if anything might happen — anything at all. And how that nice young fellow can bear to be his secretary, I can’t think.”

Colonel Arbuthnot and MacQueen were coming towards them (полковник Арбэтнот и Маккуин шли к ним; towards = toward — указывает на движение по направлению к предмету — по направлению к) down the corridor (по коридору).

“Come into my carriage (пойдем в мое купе),” MacQueen was saying (говорил Маккуин). “It isn’t made up for the night yet (в нем еще не разложена постель /на ночь/; to make (made) up a bed — устроиться на ночлег, постелить постель; bed — кровать, постель, ложе). Now what I want to get right (итак, что я хочу уяснить для себя; to get smth. right — понять правильно) about your policy in India (о вашей политике в Индии) is this (/так это/ вот что) — ”

The two men passed (двое мужчин прошли мимо; to pass — идти; проходить мимо, миновать) and went on down the corridor (и направились дальше по коридору; to go (went, gone) on — идти дальше, продолжать путь) to MacQueen’s carriage (к купе Маккуина).

Mrs. Hubbard said good night to Poirot (миссис Хаббард пожелала Пуаро спокойной ночи). “I guess I’ll go right to bed and read (пойду, пожалуй, прилягу: «отправлюсь прямиком в постель» и почитаю),” she said. “Good night.”

“Good night, Madame.”

Poirot passed into his own compartment (Пуаро пошел в свое /собственное/ купе), which was the next one beyond Ratchett’s (которое располагалось за купе Рэтчетта; which — какой; который). He undressed (он разделся) and got into bed (и лег в постель), read for about half an hour (почитал где-то с полчаса) and then turned out the light (и затем выключил = погасил свет; to turn — поворачивать; to turn out — выключать, гасить /свет/).
