Английский с Оскаром Уайльдом. Кентервильское привидение / Oscar Wilde. The Canterville Ghost

The story was well known at the time (история была хорошо известна в то время), though, of course, out of respect to the feelings of the two noble families (хотя, конечно, из уважения к чувствам обеих благородных семей), every attempt was made to hush it up (было сделано все: «была сделана каждая попытка», чтобы замять ее; hush – тишина; молчание; to hush up – заставлять замолчать, водворять тишину; замалчивать, скрывать), and a full account of all the circumstances connected with it (и полное изложение всех обстоятельств, связанных с ней), will be found in the third volume of Lord Tattle’s Recollections of the Prince Regent and his Friends[23] (вы найдете: «будет найдено» в третьем томе «Воспоминаний принца-регента и его друзей» лорда Тэтла). The ghost, then, was naturally very anxious to show that he had not lost his influence over the Stiltons (призрак после этого, естественно, очень старался показать, что он не лишился своего влияния на Стилтонов; to lose – терять), with whom, indeed, he was distantly connected (с которыми, на самом деле, он состоял в дальнем родстве), his own first cousin having been married en secondes noces to the Sieur de Bulkeley (так как его кузина был замужем вторым браком /франц./ за монсеньером де Балкли), from whom, as every one knows (от которых, как всем известно), the Dukes of Cheshire are lineally descended (пошла линия герцогов Чеширских; to descend – спускаться, сходить; происходить, вести род).
