Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)

"Look at Sir Charles's death! That was bad enough, for all that the coroner said. Look at the noises on the moor at night. There's not a man would cross it after sundown if he was paid for it. Look at this stranger hiding out yonder, and watching and waiting! What's he waiting for? What does it mean? It means no good to anyone of the name of Baskerville, and very glad I shall be to be quit of it all on the day that Sir Henry's new servants are ready to take over the Hall."

"But about this stranger (/кстати/, об этом незнакомце)," said I. "Can you tell me anything about him (можете мне рассказать что-нибудь о нем)? What did Selden say (что говорил Сэлдэн)? Did he find out where he hid (он обнаружил, где тот прятался; to hide), or what he was doing (или что делал = чем занимался)?"

"He saw him once or twice (он видел его пару раз), but he is a deep one (но тот очень скрытный; deep — глубокий; таинственный), and gives nothing away (и сидит, не высовываясь; to give away — выдавать секрет; разоблачать). At first he thought that he was the police (сперва он подумал, что тот — полицейский), but soon he found that he had some lay of his own (но вскоре понял, что у него свои собственные цели; lay — положение; занятие, дело /разг./). A kind of gentleman he was (он своего рода джентльмен = с виду он джентльмен), as far as he could see (насколько он может судить), but what he was doing he could not make out (но чем он занимается, он = Сэлдэн не смог понять)."

"And where did he say that he lived (а где, он сказал, он живет)?"

"Among the old houses on the hillside (в старых постройках на склонах холмов) — the stone huts where the old folk used to live (в каменных хижинах, где жил древний народ)."

"But how about his food (а чем он питается: «а как насчет его пищи»)?"

"Selden found out that he has got a lad (Сэлдэн обнаружил = видел, что у него есть = к нему приходит мальчик) who works for him and brings him all he needs (который на него работает и приносит ему все необходимое). I daresay he goes to Coombe Tracey for what he wants (мне думается, он ходит в Кум-Трэйси за продуктами: «за тем, что он хочет»)."
