Английский язык с Э. Р. Берроузом. Принцесса Марса / Edgar Rice Burroughs: A Princess of Mars

At the foot of the throne these two parties separated and halted, facing each other at opposite sides of the aisle. Then came more dignitaries, and the officers of the palace and of the army, and finally two figures entirely muffled in scarlet silk, so that not a feature of either was discernible. These two stopped at the foot of the throne, facing Than Kosis. When the balance of the procession had entered and assumed their stations Than Kosis addressed the couple standing before him. I could not hear his words, but presently two officers advanced and removed the scarlet robe from one of the figures, and I saw that Kantos Kan had failed in his mission, for it was Sab Than, Prince of Zodanga, who stood revealed before me.

Than Kosis now took a set of the ornaments from one of the salvers (затем Тан Косис взял набор украшений с одного из подносов) and placed one of the collars of gold about his son's neck (и надел одно из золотых ожерелий на шею своему сыну; collar — /предмет, надеваемый на шею/; воротник; воротничок; ожерелье; ошейник), springing the padlock fast (крепко защелкнув замок; to spring — защелкивать с помощью пружины). After a few more words addressed to Sab Than (после еще нескольких слов, адресованных Сабe Тану) he turned to the other figure (он повернулся к другой фигуре), from which the officers now removed the enshrouding silks (с которой офицеры теперь снимали окутывающие /ее/ шелка; to enshroud — закутывать, обволакивать; shroud — саван; покров), disclosing to my now comprehending view Dejah Thoris (открывая моему теперь уже /все/ понимающему взгляду Дежу Торис; to comprehend — понять, постигнуть), Princess of Helium.
