"Married yesterday — that's what those flags are for on the Endowment House. There was some words between young Drebber and young Stangerson as to which was to have her. They'd both been in the party that followed them, and Stangerson had shot her father, which seemed to give him the best claim; but when they argued it out in council, Drebber's party was the stronger, so the Prophet gave her over to him. No one won't have her very long though, for I saw death in her face yesterday. She is more like a ghost than a woman. Are you off, then?"

"Yes, I am off," said Jefferson Hope, who had risen from his seat (да, ухожу, — сказал Джефферсон Хоуп, поднявшись: «который поднялся со своего сиденья»). His face might have been chiselled out of marble (его лицо могло быть высечено из мрамора), so hard and set was its expression (таким окаменевшим и неподвижным было его выражение), while its eyes glowed with a baleful light (в то время как глаза горели мрачным светом; baleful —злой; мрачный; зловещий).

"Where are you going (куда ты направляешься)?"

"Never mind," he answered (не твое дело: «не обращай внимания», — ответил он); and, slinging his weapon over his shoulder (и, закинув винтовку: «оружие» на плечо), strode off down the gorge and so away into the heart of the mountains to the haunts of the wild beasts (зашагал вниз по ущелью в глубь гор, туда, где обитали лишь дикие звери: «к логовам диких зверей»; haunt — логово; место кормежки диких животных). Amongst them all there was none so fierce and so dangerous as himself (среди всех них не нашлось бы ни одного, который был бы так же яростен и опасен, как он).
