It appeared to have been fitted up as a chemical laboratory (оказалось, что она была оборудована как химическая лаборатория). A double line of glass-stoppered bottles was drawn up upon the wall opposite the door (двойной ряд бутылей со стеклянными пробками тянулся по стене напротив двери; stoppered — закупоренный; to draw up — выпрямляться; выстраивать), and the table was littered over with Bunsen burners (а стол был усеян бунсеновскими горелками), test-tubes (пробирками), and retorts (и ретортами). In the corners stood carboys of acid in wicker baskets (в углах стояли оплетенные бутыли с кислотами в корзинах из ивовых прутьев; carboy — оплетенная бутыль; wicker — прутья для плетения, ивняк). One of these appeared to leak or to have been broken (одна из них, похоже, протекла или была разбита; to leak — пропускать воду, давать течь; подтекать; to break — ломать), for a stream of dark-coloured liquid had trickled out from it (так как лужа темной жидкости насочилась из нее; stream — поток; струя; to trickle — течь тонкой струйкой, сочиться; капать), and the air was heavy with a peculiarly pungent, tar-like odour (а воздух был спертым, со своеобразным терпким смоляным запахом; heavy — тяжелый; pungent — колющий; едкий; tar — смола; деготь; odour — запах). A set of steps stood at one side of the room (сбоку стояла стремянка: «стремянка стояла на одной стороне комнаты»; step — шаг; ступень, ступенька; set of steps — лестница-стремянка), in the midst of a litter of lath and plaster (посреди груды мусора из дранки и штукатурки; litter — разбросанные вещи; сор, мусор), and above them there was an opening in the ceiling large enough for a man to pass through (а над ней в потолке была дыра, достаточно большая, чтобы мог пролезть человек; opening — открывание; отверстие, дыра). At the foot of the steps a long coil of rope was thrown carelessly together (возле стремянки: «у подножия стремянки» был небрежно брошен длинный моток веревки; coil — виток, кольцо).

"This is terrible!" I said to Holmes. "What is to be done?"

"The door must come down," he answered, and, springing against it, he put all his weight upon the lock. It creaked and groaned, but did not yield. Together we flung ourselves upon it once more, and this time it gave way with a sudden snap, and we found ourselves within Bartholomew Sholto's chamber.
