pride [praId] discipline [`dIsIplIn] twice [twaIs] behind [bI`haInd]

1. 'I have a son of my own,' said he, 'as like you as two blocks, and he's all the

pride of my 'art. But the great thing for boys is discipline, sonny — discipline.

Now if you had sailed along of Bill, you wouldn't have stood there to be spoke

to twice — not you. That was never Bill's way nor the way of such as sailed

with him. And here, sure enough is my mate Bill, with a spy-glass under his

arm, bless his old 'art to be sure. You and me'll just go back into the parlour,

sonny, and get behind the door, and we'll give Bill a little surprise — bless his

'art, I say again.'

1. So saying (так говоря = с этими словами), the stranger backed along with me

into the parlour (незнакомец вернулся вместе со мной в комнату; to back —

пятиться, отступать), and put me behind him in the corner (и поместил меня

позади себя = спрятал у себя за спиной в углу), so that we were both hidden by

the open door (так, что мы были оба спрятаны = заслонены открытой дверью;

to hide). I was very uneasy and alarmed (я был очень обеспокоен и встревожен),

as you may fancy (как вы можете себе представить), and it rather added to my

fears (это довольно увеличило мои страхи; to add — добавлять,

присоединять, увеличивать) to observe that the stranger was certainly frightened

himself (видеть, что незнакомец определенно напуган сам). He cleared the hilt

of his cutlass (он высвободил рукоятку кортика) and loosened the blade in the

sheath (и немного вытащил клинок из ножен; to loosen — ослабить,

освободить); and all the time we were waiting there (все время, /которое/ мы

ждали там) he kept swallowing as if he felt what we used to call a lump in the

throat (он продолжал сглатывать, словно он ощущал /то/, что мы привыкли

называть = называем ‘комом в горле’).

2. At last in strode the captain (наконец, вошел капитан), slammed the door

behind him (захлопнул дверь за собой), without looking to the right or left (не

глядя направо или налево = по сторонам), and marched straight across the room

(и прошагал через комнату) to where his breakfast awaited him (/к столу/, где

завтрак ожидал его).

1. 'Bill,' said the stranger, in a voice that I thought he had tried to make bold and

big (сказал незнакомец в голосе = /таким/ голосом, что я подумал, он

попытался сделать его смелым и важным; bold — смелый, наглый, дерзкий).

2. The captain spun round on his heel and fronted us (капитан повернулся на

каблуках и увидел нас; to spin — вращаться, кружиться; to front —

находиться перед,стоять напротив); all the brown had gone out of his face

(весь коричневый цвет = загар сошел с его лица; to go out of — гаснуть,
