But I resisted all his solicitations and succeeded in dissuading him from his announced intention of walking home with me. I kept the road as long as his eye was on me, and then I struck off across the moor and made for the stony hill over which the boy had disappeared. Everything was working in my favour, and I swore that it should not be through lack of energy or perseverance that I should miss the chance which Fortune had thrown in my way.

The sun was already sinking when I reached the summit of the hill, and the long slopes beneath me were all golden-green on one side and grey shadow on the other.

A haze lay low upon the farthest sky-line (легкая дымка лежала низко над горизонтом), out of which jutted the fantastic shapes of Belliver and Vixen Tor (из которого выступали причудливые формы скалы Белливера и Лисьей скалы). Over the wide expanse there was no sound and no movement (по /всему/ обширному пространству не было ни звука, ни движения). One great grey bird, a gull or curlew (одна большая серая птица, чайка или кроншнеп), soared aloft in the blue heaven (высоко парила в голубом небе). He and I seemed to be the only living things (мы с ней, казалось, были единственными живыми существами) between the huge arch of the sky and the desert beneath it (между громадным сводом небес и пустыней под ним). The barren scene, the sense of loneliness (бесплодное место, чувство одиночества), and the mystery and urgency of my task (тайна и крайняя необходимость /выполнить/ мою задачу) all struck a chill into my heart (все /это/ наполняло: «пронзало» холодом мое сердце; to strike — ударять/ся/; вонзать). The boy was nowhere to be seen (мальчишки нигде не было видно). But down beneath me in a cleft of the hills (но внизу подо мной в расселине /между/ холмами) there was a circle of the old stone huts (был круг, /образованный/ древними каменными хижинами), and in the middle of them there was one (и в середине их находилась одна) which retained sufficient roof to act as a screen against the weather (достаточно сохранившаяся крыша которой /могла/ служить защитой: «щитом» от /не/погоды). My heart leaped within me (сердце во мне подпрыгнуло) as I saw it (когда я ее увидел). This must be the burrow (она должна была быть той норой) where the stranger lurked (где укрывался незнакомец). At last my foot was on the threshold of his hiding-place (наконец-то моя нога была на пороге его убежища) — his secret was within my grasp (его тайна /теперь/ в моих руках; grasp — хватка; власть, контроль).
