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

"Our case becomes rounded off, and difficulty after difficulty thins away in front of us," said Holmes, as we stood waiting for the arrival of the express from town. "I shall soon be in the position of being able to put into a single connected narrative one of the most singular and sensational crimes of modern times. Students of criminology will remember the analogous incidents in Grodno, in Little Russia, in the year '66, and of course there are the Anderson murders in North Carolina, but this case possesses some features which are entirely its own. Even now we have no clear case against this very wily man. But I shall be very much surprised if it is not clear enough before we go to bed this night."

The London express came roaring into the station (лондонский экспресс с ревом подошел к вокзалу), and a small, wiry bulldog of a man (и маленький, крепкий, /похожий/ на бульдога человек; bulldog — бульдог; упорный, цепкий человек) had sprung from a first-class carriage (выпрыгнул из вагона первого класса; to spring). We all three shook hands (мы все «втроем» пожали друг другу руки), and I saw at once from the reverential way (и я сразу же заметил по почтительной манере) in which Lestrade gazed at my companion (с которой Лестрейд уставился на моего спутника) that he had learned a good deal (что он научился очень многому) since the days when they had first worked together (с тех дней, когда они впервые работали вместе). I could well remember the scorn (я хорошо помнил /то/ презрение) which the theories of the reasoned (которое логические теории /Холмса/) used then to excite in the practical man (в то время обычно вызывали в этом практичном человеке; to excite — побуждать; вызывать).

"Anything good?" he asked (что-то интересное: «хорошее»? — спросил он).

"The biggest thing for years (самое крупное дело за /эти/ годы)," said Holmes. "We have two hours (у нас есть два часа) before we need think of starting (прежде чем нам нужно будет подумать о начале = прежде чем начнем). I think we might employ it in getting some dinner (полагаю, мы можем использовать его на обед: «на получение обеда»), and then, Lestrade, we will take the London fog out of your throat (а потом, Лестрейд, мы удалим лондонский туман из вашего горла) by giving you a breath of the pure night air of Dartmoor (дав вам вдохнуть чистый вечерний воздух Дартмура). Never been there (никогда там не были)? Ah, well, I don't suppose you will forget your first visit (ну, я не думаю, что вы забудете свой первый визит)."
