On which the Messenger, to Alice's great amusement (на что Гонец, к величайшему удивлению Алисы), opened a bag that hung round his neck, and handed a sandwich to the King (открыл сумку, которая висела у него на шее и вручил сэндвич Королю), who devoured it greedily (который с жадностью проглотил его;
`Another sandwich (еще сэндвич)!' said the King.
`There's nothing but hay left now (/больше/ ничего не осталось, кроме сена),' the Messenger said, peeping into the bag (сказал Гонец, заглядывая в сумку).
`Hay, then (тогда сена),' the King murmured in a faint whisper (пробормотал Король слабым шепотом).

Alice was glad to see that it revived him a good deal (Алиса обрадовалась, увидев, что это придало ему сил;
`I should think throwing cold water over you would be better (я думаю, что плеснуть на вас холодной воды было бы /еще/ лучше),' Alice suggested (предложила Алиса): `or some sal-volatile (или /понюхать/ какой-нибудь нюхательной соли).'
`I didn't say there was nothing BETTER (я не сказал, что нет ничего лучше),' the King replied. `I said there was nothing LIKE it (я сказал, что нет ничего похожего на это).' Which Alice did not venture to deny (что Алиса не осмелилась отрицать).

`Who did you pass on the road (мимо кого ты прошагал по дороге)?' the King went on, holding out his hand to the Messenger for some more hay (продолжил Король, протянув руку к Гонцу за следующей порцией сена).
`Nobody (никого),' said the Messenger.
`Quite right (совершенно верно),' said the King: `this young lady saw him too (эта молодая леди тоже его видела). So of course Nobody walks slower than you (конечно же, Никто ходит медленнее, чем ты).'
`I do my best (я стараюсь изо всех сил),' the Messenger said in a sulky tone (сказал Гонец мрачным тоном). `I'm sure nobody walks much faster than I do (я уверен, что никто не шагает быстрее, чем я)!'
`He can't do that (он не может сделать это),' said the King, `or else he'd have been here first (или он был бы здесь первым). However, now you've got your breath (однако, теперь, когда ты отдышался), you may tell us what's happened in the town (ты можешь рассказать нам, что случилось в городе).'
