Английский язык с Э. Р. Берроузом. Принцесса Марса

"They would never suspect that we would try for that distant waterway," I answered, "and that is why I think that it is the best route for our escape."

Sola agreed with me, and it was decided that we should leave Thark this same night; just as quickly, in fact, as I could find and saddle my thoats. Sola was to ride one and Dejah Thoris and I the other; each of us carrying sufficient food and drink to last us for two days, since the animals could not be urged too rapidly for so long a distance.

I directed Sola to proceed with Dejah Thoris (я дал указание Соле продолжить путь вместе с Дежой Торис; to proceed — продолжать путь, идти далее) along one of the less frequented avenues to the southern boundary of the city (по одной из наименее посещаемых улиц к южной границе города; to frequent — часто посещать), where I would overtake them with the thoats as quickly as possible (где я догоню их вместе с тотами так быстро, как только смогу; to overtake — догонять, наверстывать); then, leaving them to gather what food, silks, and furs we were to need (затем, оставив их, чтобы они собрали всю ту еду, шелка и меха, которые нам могли понадобиться), I slipped quietly to the rear of the first floor (я тихо проскользнул к задней половине первого этажа), and entered the courtyard (и вошел во двор), where our animals were moving restlessly about (где беспокойно двигались наши животные; restless — беспокойный, неугомонный; to move about — переходить с места на место), as was their habit, before settling down for the night (что было у них в обычае, прежде чем они успокаивались на ночь; to settle down — успокаиваться; to settle — устраиваться; поселяться).
