When the farmer's wife came back to the bedroom (когда жена фермера возвратилась в спальню) she was frightened at the sight of the blood on the bed and on my clothes (она испугалась при виде крови на постели и моей одежде). However, she seemed very pleased to find (но она, казалось, очень обрадовалась, убедившись) that I wasn't hurt in any way (что я был ничуть: «никоим образом» не ранен;

When the farmer's wife came back to the bedroom she was frightened at the sight of the blood on the bed and on my clothes. However, she seemed very pleased to find that I wasn't hurt in any way. She called a servant to clear up the mess, picked me up and took me down to the garden. I made signs to her that I wished to be placed on the ground. Once there, I tried to make her understand that she should look the other way. She seemed to guess what it was that I wished to do. I walked away and hid between two leaves, where I was able to relieve myself.

One of the farmer's children was a nine-year-old girl (среди детей фермера была девятилетняя девочка: «одним/одной из детей фермера…»). She was small for her age (она была небольшой/невысокой для своего возраста), being only about forty feet tall (всего только около сорока футов ростом). She was very good at sewing and at making things for her doll (она очень хорошо шила и отлично одевала свою куклу: «была очень искусна в шитье и изготовлении вещей =

One of the farmer's children was a nine-year-old girl. She was small for her age, being only about forty feet tall. She was very good at sewing and at making things for her doll. With a little help from her mother, she fixed up the doll's bed for me. The bed was put inside a drawer and placed on a high shelf at night time, away from the rats.
