Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

Arrived in Kusan at last (прибыв наконец в Кусан; at last — наконец), Conan had found the venerable and philosophical King Shu a splendid host (Конан нашел почтенного и философского = здравомыслящего короля Шу отличным хозяином). While Conan and his warriors were plied with exotic food and drink and furnished with willing concubines, the king and his advisers decided to accept King Yildiz’s offer of a treaty of friendship and trade (пока Конана и его воинов угощали: «были угощаемы» экзотической пищей и напитками и снабжали исполнительными наложницами, король и его советники решили принять предложение короля Илдиза договора о дружбе и торговле). So the wise old king had handed Conan a gorgeous scroll of gilded silk (поэтому мудрый старый король вручил Конану прекрасный свиток из позолоченного шелка). Thereon were inscribed, in the writhing ideographs of Khitai and the gracefully slanted characters of Hyrkania, the formal replies and felicitations of the Khitan king (на нем были написаны витиеватыми идеограммами Кхитая и грациозно наклонными буквами Гиркании официальные ответы и поздравления Кхитайского короля; thereon — на нем).

Besides a silken purse full of Khitan gold, King Shu had also furnished Conan with a high noble of his court (кроме шелкового кошеля, полного кхитайского золота, король Шу также снабдил Конана высокопоставленным аристократом его двора), to guide them as far as the western borders of Khitai (чтобы провести их /аж/ до: «так далеко, как» — западных границ Кхитая). But Conan had not liked this guide, this Duke Feng (но Конану не понравился этот проводник, этот князь Фэн).

The Khitan was a slim, dainty, foppish little man with a soft, lisping voice (кхитаец был тонким, изящным, фатоватым маленьким человеком = человечком с мелодичным шепелявящим голосом). He wore fantastical silken garments, unsuited to rugged riding and camping (он носил причудливое шелковое одеяние, неподходящее для суровой скачки и привала), and drenched his exquisite person in heavy perfume (и орошал свою/его утонченную персону духами с тяжелым запахом: «в тяжелых духах»). He never soiled his soft, long-nailed hands with any of the camp chores (он никогда /не/ марал свои нежные руки с длинными ногтями: «длинно-ногтевые» какими-либо из лагерных работ), but instead kept his two servants busy day and night ministering to his comfort and dignity (но вместо этого держал своих двух слуг, занятых день и ночь служением его удобствам и достоинству; to keep — держать, хранить).
