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

I was still rather raw over the deception (я все еще чувствовал обиду за хитрость; raw — сырой; чувствительный, ранимый; deception — обман, хитрость; to deceive — обманывать; вводить в заблуждение) which had been practised upon me (которую применили ко мне), but the warmth of Holmes's praise drove my anger from my mind (но тепло похвалы Холмса прогнало гнев от моих мыслей). I felt also in my heart (также в душе я чувствовал) that he was right in what he said (что он был прав в том, о чем говорил), and that it was really best for our purpose (и что это действительно было лучше для /достижения/ нашей цели) that I should not have known that he was upon the moor (что я не знал о его пребывании на болотах).

waste [weIst], zeal [zi:l], warmth [wO:mT]

"Then my reports have all been wasted!" My voice trembled as I recalled the pains and the pride with which I had composed them.

Holmes took a bundle of papers from his pocket.

"Here are your reports, my dear fellow, and very well thumbed, I assure you. I made excellent arrangements, and they are only delayed one day upon their way. I must compliment you exceedingly upon the zeal and the intelligence which you have shown over an extraordinarily difficult case."

"That's better (так-то лучше)," said he, seeing the shadow rise from my face (сказал он, видя, как мрачное выражение покидает мое лицо: «поднимается с моего лица»). "And now tell me the result of your visit to Mrs. Laura Lyons (а теперь расскажите мне о результатах вашего визита к миссис Лоре Лайонс) — it was not difficult for me to guess (мне нетрудно было догадаться) that it was to see her that you had gone (что вы поехали, чтобы повидать ее), for I am already aware (поскольку я уже знаю) that she is the one person in Coombe Tracey (что она — единственный человек в Кум-Трэйси) who might be of service to us in the matter (кто может быть нам полезен в этом деле). In fact, if you had not gone to-day (в сущности, если бы вы не поехали /к ней/ сегодня) it is exceedingly probable that I should have gone to-morrow (весьма вероятно, что я поехал бы завтра)."

The sun had set (солнце село) and dusk was settling over the moor (и на болота опускались сумерки). The air had turned chill (воздух стал холодным), and we withdrew into the hut for warmth (и мы зашли в хижину для тепла = погреться; to withdraw — отдергивать /руку/; уходить). There, sitting together in the twilight (там, сидя «вместе» в полумраке), I told Holmes of my conversation with the lady (я рассказал Холмсу о своем разговоре с дамой). So interested was he (он им так заинтересовался) that I had to repeat some of it twice (что мне приходилось кое-что повторять дважды) before he was satisfied (прежде чем он был удовлетворен).
