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

On our way back we stayed for lunch at Merripit House (по пути обратно мы остановились на ланч в Меррипит-хаус), and it was there that Sir Henry made the acquaintance of Miss Stapleton (и именно там сэр Генри и познакомился с мисс Стэплтон). From the first moment that he saw her (с первой минуты, как он увидел ее) he appeared to be strongly attracted by her (казалось, она совершенно его покорила; strongly — крепко; весьма, чрезвычайно; to attract — притягивать, привлекать; пленять), and I am much mistaken (и я сильно ошибаюсь; to mistake) if the feeling was not mutual (если чувство не было взаимно). He referred to her again and again on our walk home (он говорил о ней снова и снова по пути домой; to refer — ссылаться; упоминать), and since then hardly a day has passed (и с тех пор едва ли был: «прошел» /такой/ день) that we have not seen something of the brother and sister (чтобы мы не видели брата и сестру; something — до некоторой степени; немного). They dine here to-night (они обедают здесь сегодня вечером), and there is some talk of our going to them next week (и /уже/ идут разговоры о нашем визите к ним на следующей неделе). One would imagine that such a match would be very welcome to Stapleton (можно было бы предположить, что такая партия очень выгодна: «желанна» для Стэплтона; to imagine — воображать, представлять себе; думать, полагать), and yet I have more than once caught a look of the strongest disapprobation in his face (однако я не раз замечал на его лице выражение сильнейшего недовольства; to catch — ловить; увидеть /мельком/) when Sir Henry has been paying some attention to his sister (когда сэр Генри уделял внимание = оказывал знаки внимания его сестре).
