"How was it that Dionysius the Tyrant became a schoolmaster?	- А как случилось, что тиран Дионисий стал школьным учителем?
The fortune of war, my dear viscount,-the caprice of fortune; that is the way in which these things are to be accounted for."	Жребий войны, дорогой виконт, прихоть судьбы.
"And is her name a secret?"	- А ее происхождение - тайна?
"As regards the generality of mankind it is; but not for you, my dear viscount, who are one of my most intimate friends, and on whose silence I feel I may rely, if I consider it necessary to enjoin it-may I not do so?"	- Для всех - да; но не для вас, дорогой виконт, потому что вы мой друг и будете молчать, если пообещаете, правда?
"Certainly; on my word of honor."	- Даю вам честное слово!
"You know the history of the Pasha of Yanina, do you not?"	- Вы слышали историю янинского паши?

"Of Ali Pasha and the beautiful Vasiliki."	- И прекрасной Василики.
"And your slave?"	- И она ваша невольница?

"Why, simply from the circumstance of my having bought her one day, as I was passing through the market at Constantinople."	- Да так. Однажды я проходил по константинопольскому базару и купил ее.
"Wonderful!	- Это великолепно!
