Английский с Р. Л. Стивенсоном. Странная история доктора Джекила и мистера Хайда

“I would say nothing of this paper (я, пожалуй, /никому/ ничего не скажу об этих бумагах). If your master has fled or is dead (если ваш хозяин бежал или мертв; to flee), we may at least save his credit (мы можем, во всяком случае, спасти его доброе имя; credit – вера; репутация /особ. хорошая/). It is now ten (сейчас десять часов); I must go home and read these documents in quiet (я должен отправиться домой и спокойно прочитать эти бумаги; quiet – тишина; покой, спокойствие); but I shall be back before midnight (но до полуночи я вернусь), when we shall send for the police (и тогда мы пошлем за полицией).”

They went out, locking the door of the theatre behind them (они вышли и заперли за собой дверь операционной); and Utterson, once more leaving the servants gathered about the fire in the hall (и Аттерсон, снова оставив слуг, собравшихся в прихожей у камина), trudged back to his office to read the two narratives (устало отправился к себе домой: «в свой офис» чтобы прочитать два рассказа; to trudge – идти с трудом, устало тащиться; narrative – повествовательный; рассказ, повествование) in which this mystery was now to be explained (в которых должна была теперь быть объяснена эта тайна).

”There was a third enclosure?” asked Utterson.

“Here, sir,” said Poole, and gave into his hands a considerable packet sealed in several places.

The lawyer put it in his pocket.
