Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)

"The Baronet himself told him about the family hound (баронет сам рассказал ему о «фамильной» собаке), and so prepared the way for his own death (и таким образом подготовил путь для своей собственной смерти). Stapleton, as I will continue to call him (Стэплтон, как я буду продолжать называть его), knew that the old man's heart was weak (знал, что сердце у старика слабое) and that a shock would kill him (и что потрясение убьет его). So much he had learned from Dr. Mortimer (все это: «так много» он узнал от доктора Мортимера). He had heard also that Sir Charles was superstitious (он слышал также, что сэр Чарльз был суеверен) and had taken this grim legend very seriously (и воспринимал эту мрачную легенду весьма серьезно; grim — жестокий; мрачный). His ingenious mind instantly suggested a way (его изобретательный ум мгновенно подсказал способ) by which the Baronet could be done to death (которым можно убить баронета; to do to death — убить), and yet it would be hardly possible (и к тому же едва ли возможно) to bring home the guilt to the real murderer (изобличить настоящего убийцу; guilt — вина; виновность).
