Английский с Дэвидом Г. Лоуренсом. Тень в розовом саду / D. H. Lawrence. The Shadow in the Rose Garden

 He was not so heavy as I expected, yet it was a struggle to get up to the house with him again. We set him down, not too near the fire, and gently wiped him with cloths. He submitted, only now and then stretched his soft neck away from us, avoiding us helplessly. Then we set warm food by him. I put it to his beak, tried to make him eat. But he ignored it. He seemed to be ignorant of what we were doing, recoiled inside himself inexplicably. So we put him in a basket with cloths, and left him crouching oblivious. His food we put near him. The blinds were drawn, the house was warm, it was night. Sometimes he stirred, but mostly he huddled still, leaning his queer crested head on one side. He touched no food, and took no heed of sounds or movements. We talked of brandy or stimulants. But I realised we had best leave him alone.

In the night, however, we heard him thumping about (ночью, однако, мы услышали, как он шумно расхаживает; to thump – наносить тяжелый удар; стучать; тяжело, с шумом двигаться). I got up anxiously with a candle (я встревоженно встал со свечой). He had eaten some food, and scattered more, making a mess (он поел немного, а больше разбросал, устроив беспорядок). And he was perched on the back of a heavy arm-chair (и уселся на спинку тяжелого кресла; to perch – садиться на насест; усесться, взгромоздиться; perch – насест, жердочка). So I concluded he was recovered, or recovering (так что я заключил, что он поправился или поправляется; to conclude – заканчивать/ся/; заключать, делать вывод).
