хозяина; pleasant — приятный, милый).

2. I plucked up courage at once (я собрался с духом сразу; to pluck — собирать,

срывать; courage — храбрость, мужество), crossed the threshold (переступил

порог; to cross — пересекать, переходить), and walked right up to the man

where he stood (и пошел прямо

к нему, где он стоял), propped on his crutch,

talking to a customer (опершись на костыль, разговаривая с посетителем).

3. 'Mr. Silver, sir (мистер Сильвер, сэр)?' I asked, holding out the note (я

спросил, протягивая записку).

1. Now, to tell you the truth, from the very first mention of Long John in

Squire Trelawney's letter, I had taken a fear in my mind that he might prove

to be the very one-legged sailor whom I had watched for so long at the old

'Benbow.' But one look at the man before me was enough. I had seen the

captain, and Black Dog, and the blind man Pew, and I thought I knew what a

buccaneer was like — a very different creature, according to me, from this

clean and pleasant-tempered landlord.

the man where he stood, propped on his crutch, talking to a customer.

3. 'Mr. Silver, sir?' I asked, holding out the note.

1. 'Yes, my lad (да, мой мальчик),' said he; 'such is my name, to be sure (таково

мое имя, конечно). And who may you be (а кто ты такой: «кем ты можешь

быть»)?' And then as he saw the squire's letter, he seemed to me to give something

almost like a start (увидев письмо сквайра, мне показалось, он вроде бы

вздрогнул).

2. 'Oh!' said he, quite loud, and offering his hand (сказал он, довольно громко,

протягивая: «предлагая» свою руку), 'I see (понятно). You are our new cabin-

boy (ты

наш новый юнга); pleased I am to see you (рад видеть тебя).'

3. And he took my hand in his large firm grasp (он взял мою руку в большой

крепкий хват = сильно сжал).

4. Just then one of the customers at the far side rose suddenly and made for the

door (сразу же после этого один из посетителей, /сидевший/ в дальнем углу,

встал вдруг и устремился к двери). It was close by him (она была рядом с

ним), and he was out in the street in a moment (и он был на улице через

мгновение). But his hurry had attracted my notice (но его торопливость

привлекла мое внимание), and I recognised him at a glance (и я сразу же узнал

его). It was the tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers (это был человек с

бледным одутловатым лицом, без двух пальцев), who had come first to the

'Admiral Benbow' (который первым приходил в «Адмирал Бенбоу»).

Черный Пес)!'
