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

Sir Henry had numerous papers to examine after breakfast, so that the time was propitious for my excursion. It was a pleasant walk of four miles along the edge of the moor, leading me at last to a small grey hamlet, in which two larger buildings, which proved to be the inn and the house of Dr. Mortimer, stood high above the rest. The postmaster, who was also the village grocer, had a clear recollection of the telegram.

"Certainly, sir," said he (конечно, сэр, — сказал он), "I had the telegram delivered to Mr. Barrymore (телеграмма была доставлена мистеру Бэрримору; to have smth. + причастие прош. вр. — получить результат какого-либо действия /как следствие собственных усилий или деятельности других лиц/) exactly as directed (в точности, /как и было/ указано)."

"Who delivered it (кто вручил: «доставил» ее)?"

"My boy here (вот, мой сын). James, you delivered that telegram to Mr. Barrymore at the Hall last week, did you not (Джеймс, ты доставил телеграмму мистеру Бэрримору в Баскервиль-холл на прошлой неделе, не так ли)?"

"Yes, father, I delivered it (да, отец, я доставил ее)."

"Into his own hands?" I asked (ему в собственные руки? — спросил я).

"Well, he was up in the loft at the time (ну, в тот момент он был на чердаке), so that I could not put it into his own hands (поэтому я не мог вручить ее ему лично), but I gave it into Mrs. Barrymore's hands (но я отдал ее миссис Бэрримор), and she promised to deliver it at once (и она обещала сразу же передать ее)."

"Did you see Mr. Barrymore (/а/ ты видел мистера Бэрримора)?"

"No, sir; I tell you he was in the loft (нет, сэр, говорю же вам, он был на чердаке)."

"If you didn't see him (если ты его не видел), how do you know he was in the loft (откуда тебе знать, /что/ он был на чердаке)?"

"Well, surely his own wife ought to know where he is (ну, наверняка его собственная жена должна знать, где он находится)," said the postmaster, testily (сказал почтмейстер с раздражением). "Didn't he get the telegram (разве он не получил телеграммы)? If there is any mistake (если произошла какая-то ошибка) it is for Mr. Barrymore himself to complain (пускай мистер Бэрримор сам пожалуется)."
