It was evident to us (нам было ясно) that all pursuit was in vain (что любая погоня была напрасной; in vain — напрасно, тщетно) until the fog had lifted (пока туман не рассеется; to lift — поднимать/-ся/; рассеиваться /об облаках, тумане и т. п./). Meanwhile we left Lestrade in possession of the house (тем временем мы оставили Лестрейда распоряжаться в доме; in possession of — во владении) while Holmes and I went back with the Baronet to Baskerville Hall (тогда как мы с Холмсом и с баронетом вернулись в Баскервиль-холл). The story of the Stapletons could no longer be withheld from him (/мы/ не могли больше от него скрывать историю Стэплтонов; to withhold — воздерживаться; утаивать, скрывать), but he took the blow bravely (но он мужественно принял удар) when he learned the truth about the woman (когда узнал правду о женщине) whom he had loved (которую он полюбил). But the shock of the night's adventures had shattered his nerves (но потрясение от ночных приключений расшатало его нервы; to shatter — разбить вдребезги; расстроить), and before morning (и прежде чем /наступило/ утро) he lay delirious in a high fever (он лежал в бреду с высокой температурой; high fever — высокая температура, жар), under the care of Dr. Mortimer (под наблюдением доктора Мортимера; care — забота; уход, наблюдение /мед./). The two of them were destined (им вдвоем суждено было; to destine — предопределять) to travel together round the world (вместе совершить кругосветное путешествие: «путешествовать вместе вокруг света») before Sir Henry had become once more the hale, hearty man (прежде чем сэр Генри снова стал здоровым и веселым человеком; hearty — сердечный; веселый) that he had been before he became master of that ill-omened estate (каким он был перед тем, как стать хозяином этого зловещего поместья; omen — знак, знамение, предзнаменование, примета).
