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

"Then we had the visit from our friends next morning (затем на следующее утро нас посетили наши друзья), shadowed always by Stapleton in the cab (/за которыми/ постоянно следовал Стэплтон в кебе). From his knowledge of our rooms and of my appearance (судя по тому, что он знал /местонахождение/ нашей квартиры и мою внешность; rooms — комнаты; квартира), as well as from his general conduct (а также по его общей /манере/ поведения), I am inclined to think (я склонен думать) that Stapleton's career of crime has been by no means limited (что карьера Стэплтона как преступника отнюдь не ограничивалась; by no means — никоим образом; нисколько не) to this single Baskerville affair (этим единственным делом Баскервилей). It is suggestive that during the last three years (это наводит на мысль, что за последние три года) there have been four considerable burglaries in the West Country (было четыре серьезных: «значительных» кражи в Западных графствах), for none of which was any criminal ever arrested (ни за одно из которых преступник не был арестован). The last of these, at Folkestone Court, in May (последнее из них в Фолкстон-корт в мае), was remarkable for the cold-blooded pistolling of the page (было примечательно /тем, что/ из револьвера хладнокровно = безжалостно застрелили мальчика-слугу; page — страница; паж, мальчик-слуга), who surprised the masked and solitary burglar (который застал /на месте преступления/ грабителя — в маске, одного; solitary — одинокий; сам по себе; to surprise — удивлять; застать врасплох).

"The more outr'e and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined, and the very point which appears to complicate a case is, when duly considered and scientifically handled, the one which is most likely to elucidate it.

I cannot doubt that Stapleton recruited his waning resources in this fashion (я не сомневаюсь, что таким образом Стэплтон поправлял свой убывающий капитал; resources — денежные средства), and that for years he has been a desperate and dangerous man (и что долгие годы он был отчаянным и опасным человеком).
