"About what (насчет чего)?"
"About sending you (насчет того, что посылаю вас). It's an ugly business, Watson, an ugly, dangerous business (дело очень скверное, Ватсон, скверное и опасное), and the more I see of it the less I like it (и чем больше я в него вникаю, тем меньше оно мне нравится; to see — видеть; вникать /во что-либо/). Yes, my dear fellow, you may laugh (да, мой дорогой друг, вы можете смеяться), but I give you my word that I shall be very glad (но даю вам слово, что буду очень рад) to have you back safe and sound in Baker Street once more (снова видеть вас на Бейкер-стрит целым и невредимым; safe — безопасный; невредимый; sound — здоровый)."

John Clayton departed chuckling, and Holmes turned to me with a shrug of the shoulders and a rueful smile.
"Snap goes our third thread, and we end where we began," said he. "The cunning rascal! He knew our number, knew that Sir Henry Baskerville had consulted me, spotted who I was in Regent Street, conjectured that I had got the number of the cab and would lay my hands on the driver, and so sent back this audacious message. I tell you, Watson, this time we have got a foeman who is worthy of our steel. I've been checkmated in London. I can only wish you better luck in Devonshire. But I'm not easy in my mind about it."
"About what?"
"About sending you. It's an ugly business, Watson, an ugly, dangerous business, and the more I see of it the less I like it. Yes, my dear fellow, you may laugh, but I give you my word that I shall be very glad to have you back safe and sound in Baker Street once more."
CHAPTER VI. BASKERVILLE HALL
(Баскервиль-холл)
SIR HENRY BASKERVILLE and Dr. Mortimer were ready upon the appointed day (сэр Генри Баскервиль и доктор Мортимер к назначенному дню были готовы), and we started as arranged for Devonshire (и мы отправились в Девоншир, как и намечалось; to arrange — приводить в порядок; договариваться). Mr. Sherlock Holmes drove with me to the station (мистер Шерлок Холмс поехал со мной на вокзал) and gave me his last parting injunctions and advice (и на прощание давал мне свои последние указания и советы; parting — прощальный).
"I will not bias your mind by suggesting theories or suspicions, Watson (я не стану влиять на ваше мнение /своими/ предположениями и подозрениями, Ватсон)," said he; "I wish you simply to report facts in the fullest possible manner to me (я хочу, чтобы вы просто сообщали мне факты по возможности в наиболее полном виде), and you can leave me to do the theorizing (и предоставили мне построение теорий/предположений)."
"What sort of facts?" I asked (какого рода факты? — спросил я).
"Anything which may seem to have a bearing (все, имеющие отношение /к делу/; bearing — поведение; отношение) however indirect upon the case (какими бы косвенными они не казались), and especially the relations between young Baskerville and his neighbours (и в особенности об отношениях между молодым Баскервилем и его соседями), or any fresh particulars concerning the death of Sir Charles (или новые детали, касающиеся смерти сэра Чарльза). I have made some inquiries myself in the last few days (за последние несколько дней я навел справки: «сделал несколько запросов»), but the results have, I fear, been negative (но, боюсь, результат отрицательный). One thing only appears to be certain (только в одном, по-видимому, можно быть уверенным), and that is that Mr. James Desmond, who is the next heir (и это то, что этот мистер Джеймс Десмонд, ближайший наследник), is an elderly gentleman of a very amiable disposition (/действительно/ почтенный джентльмен достойнейшего поведения; amiable — дружелюбный; доброжелательный; disposition — расположение; поведение), so that this persecution does not arise from him (так что эти козни исходят не от него; persecution — гонение, преследование; to arise — возникать; происходить). I really think that we may eliminate him entirely from our calculations (я в самом деле считаю, что мы можем полностью исключить его из наших расчетов). There remain the people (тогда остаются люди) who will actually surround Sir Henry Baskerville upon the moor (которые непосредственно: «фактически» будут окружать сэра Генри /там/ на болотах)."

"Would it not be well in the first place to get rid of this Barrymore couple (а не было бы лучше прежде всего избавиться от четы Бэрриморов)?"
"By no means (ни в коем случае). You could not make a greater mistake (вы не смогли бы сделать большей ошибки). If they are innocent it would be a cruel injustice (если они невиновны, это было бы жестокой несправедливостью), and if they are guilty (а если виновны) we should be giving up all chance of bringing it home to them (нам пришлось бы отказаться от всех возможностей это доказать; to bring it home — втолковать). No, no, we will preserve them upon our list of suspects (нет-нет, мы сохраним их в нашем списке подозреваемых). Then there is a groom at the Hall, if I remember right (потом, там есть конюх, если я точно помню). There are two moorland farmers (на болотах живут два фермера). There is our friend Dr. Mortimer (есть /еще/ наш друг, доктор Мортимер), whom I believe to be entirely honest (который, я полагаю, совершенно искренен), and there is his wife, of whom we know nothing (а /также/ его жена, о которой мы не знаем ничего). There is this naturalist Stapleton, and there is his sister (есть там натуралист Стэплтон и его сестра), who is said to be a young lady of attractions (как говорят, привлекательная молодая леди). There is Mr. Frankland, of Lafter Hall (есть мистер Фрэнклэнд из Лэфтер-холла), who is also an unknown factor (тоже неизвестный фактор), and there are one or two other neighbours (и несколько других соседей; one or two — немного, несколько). These are the folk who must be your very special study (вот эти люди, которых вы должны особенно изучить; study — изучение)."
"I will do my best (сделаю все от меня зависящее)."

"You have arms, I suppose (полагаю, у вас есть оружие)?"
"Yes, I thought it as well to take them (да, я подумал, что было бы не лишним взять его; /just/ as well — с тем же успехом: «точно так же хорошо»)."
