desertion [dI'z@:S(@)n], come [kVm], intend [In'tend]

I saw by the Baronet's clouded brow that he was deeply hurt by what he regarded as our desertion.

"When do you desire to go?" he asked, coldly.

"Immediately after breakfast. We will drive in to Coombe Tracey, but Watson will leave his things as a pledge that he will come back to you. Watson, you will send a note to Stapleton to tell him that you regret that you cannot come."

"I have a good mind to go to London with you," said the Baronet. "Why should I stay here alone?"

"Because it is your post of duty. Because you gave me your word that you would do as you were told, and I tell you to stay."

"All right, then, I'll stay."

"One more direction! I wish you to drive to Merripit House. Send back your trap, however, and let them know that you intend to walk home."

"To walk across the moor?"

"Yes."

"But that is the very thing (но это же то: «та вещь») which you have so often cautioned me not to do (что вы так часто предупреждали меня не делать; to caution — предостерегать)."

"This time you may do it with safety (в этот раз можете сделать это смело; safety — безопасность). If I had not every confidence in your nerve and courage (если бы у меня не было полной уверенности в вашем мужестве и храбрости; every — каждый; всевозможный; nerve — нерв; сила духа, мужество) I would not suggest it (я бы не предложил этого), but it is essential that you should do it (но необходимо, чтобы вы сделали это)."

"Then I will do it (тогда я сделаю это)."

"And as you value your life (и если вы дорожите жизнью) do not go across the moor in any direction (не идите через болота ни в каком другом направлении) save along the straight path (кроме как по прямой тропинке) which leads from Merripit House to the Grimpen Road (которая ведет от Меррипит-хаус к дороге на Гримпен), and is your natural way home (и является вашей обычной дорогой домой)."

"I will do just what you say (я сделаю так, как вы говорите)."

"Very good. I should be glad to get away (я был бы рад уехать) as soon after breakfast as possible (после завтрака настолько быстро, насколько возможно), so as to reach London in the afternoon (чтобы добраться до Лондона к полудню)."
