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

The woman's story hung coherently together (рассказ женщины был связным и последовательным; to hang together — быть связным, логичным; coherent — связный, последовательный), and all my questions were unable to shake it (и все мои вопросы не могли поколебать его /логику/; to shake — трясти; ослабить, поколебать). I could only check it by finding (я мог его проверить, лишь разузнав) if she had, indeed, instituted divorce proceedings against her husband (действительно ли она начала бракоразводный процесс против своего мужа; to institute — основывать; начинать) at or about the time of the tragedy (во время трагедии или около того).

It was unlikely that she would dare to say (непохоже, чтобы она осмелилась утверждать) that she had not been to Baskerville Hall (что она не была у Баскервиля) if she really had been (/в случае/, если действительно была), for a trap would be necessary (поскольку необходим был экипаж; trap — ловушка; рессорная двуколка) to take her there (чтобы доставить ее туда), and could not have returned to Coombe Tracey (и /она/ не могла вернуться в Кум-Трэйси) until the early hours of the morning (до самого: «до ранних часов» утра). Such an excursion could not be kept secret (такое путешествие не могло оставаться в тайне; to keep secret — держать в секрете). The probability was, therefore (поэтому возможно), that she was telling the truth (что она говорила правду), or, at least, a part of the truth (или, по крайней мере, часть правды). I came away baffled and disheartened (я уехал озадаченным и в унылом /настроении/; to dishearten — приводить в уныние).
