Английский язык с О. Уайльдом. Кентервильское привидение / О. Wilde: The Canterville Ghost

At last everything was ready (наконец все было готово), and he was very pleased with his appearance (и он был очень доволен своим видом; appearance — появление; внешний вид, наружность). The big leather riding-boots that went with the dress were just a little too large for him (большие кожаные сапоги для езды верхом, которые шли с платьем = входили в костюм, были ему чуть-чуть великоваты), and he could only find one of the two horse-pistols (и он смог найти только один из двух седельных пистолетов; horse — конь), but, on the whole, he was quite satisfied (но в целом он был весьма удовлетворен), and at a quarter-past one he glided out of the wainscoting (и в четверть второго он выскользнул из-за панели) and crept down the corridor ( и стал пробираться по коридору; to creep — ползать; красться; подкрадываться). On reaching the room occupied by the twins (достигнув комнаты, занимаемой близнецами), which I should mention was called the Blue Bed Chamber (которая, как я должен упомянуть, называлась голубой спальней), on account of the colour of its hangings (на основании цвета ее занавесей), he found the door just ajar (он обнаружил дверь приоткрытой).
