Английский язык с Дж. Р. Р. Толкиеном. Хоббит

“Well done! Mr. Baggins!” he said, clapping Bilbo on the back. “There is always more about you than anyone expects!” It was Gandalf. For the first time for many a day Bilbo was really delighted. But there was no time for all the questions that he immediately wished to ask. “All in good time!” said Gandalf. “Things are drawing towards the end now, unless I am mistaken. There is an unpleasant time just in front of you; but keep your heart up! You may come through all right. There is news brewing that even the ravens have not heard. Good night!”

Puzzled but cheered Bilbo hurried on (озадаченный, но ободренный Бильбо поспешил дальше). He was guided to a safe ford (его проводили к безопасному броду) and set across dry (и переправили через /речку/ сухим), and then he said farewell to the elves (и тогда он попрощался с эльфами) and climbed carefully back towards the Gate (и вскарабкался осторожно назад, к Воротам). Great weariness began to come over him (на него стала наваливаться огромная усталость); but it was well before midnight (но было достаточно /много времени/ до полуночи) when he clambered up the rope again (когда он вскарабкался снова вверх по веревке) — it was still where he had left it (она все еще была там, где он ее оставил). He untied it and hid it (он отвязал ее и спрятал; totie—связывать, привязывать; tohide (hid, hidden) — прятать (ся), скрывать (ся) ), and then he sat down on the wall (затем он присел на стену) and wondered anxiously (и стал с волнением раздумывать; anxiously — с волнением, тревожно, беспокойно) what would happen next (что же случится дальше).

At midnight he woke up Bombur (в полночь он разбудил Бомбура; to wake (woke, woken) ); and then in turn rolled himself up in his corner (и затем, в свою очередь, свернулся в своем углу; torollup—свертывать (ся), скатывать (ся), завертывать), without listening to old dwarf’s thanks (не слушая благодарностей старого гнома) (which he felt he had hardly earned (которые, как он чувствовал, он вряд ли заслужил; to earn — зарабатывать, приносить доход, заслуживать)). He was soon fast asleep (вскоре он крепко заснул) forgetting all his worries till the morning (забывая о всех своих переживаниях до самого утра; worry — беспокойство, волнение, тревога). As matter of fact he was dreaming of eggs and bacon (на самом деле, ему снилась яичница с беконом).
