"But if you're ill (но, если вы больны)?"
"I am not ill, Mrs. Marbury (я не болен, миссис Марбери). Just a little worried over various personal matters (просто слегка взволнован по различным личным вопросам; matter — вещество; тема, вопрос). I slept badly (я плохо спал; to sleep). I am really quite all right (я действительно в полном порядке)."
His manner was so firm (его поведение было таким решительным; firm — твердый; непоколебимый, решительный) that Mrs. Marbury gathered up the breakfast things (что миссис Марбери собрала посуду для завтрака) and reluctantly left the room (и неохотно покинула комнату).
punctual [' [email protected]], engagement [In' [email protected]], reluctantly [rI' [email protected]]
Mr. Cust drew himself up. "It is necessary, Mrs. Marbury. I have always been punctual in my — engagements. People must have — must have confidence in you! When I have undertaken to do a thing, I carry it through. It is the only way to get on in — in — business."

His manner was so firm that Mrs. Marbury gathered up the breakfast things and reluctantly left the room.
Mr. Cust dragged out a suitcase from under the bed (мистер Каст вытащил чемодан из-под кровати; to drag — тянуть, тащить) and began to pack (и начал упаковывать /вещи/). Pyjamas (пижама), spongebag (мешочек для умывальных принадлежностей /мыла, зубной щетки и т.п./: «мешочек для губки»; sponge — губка), spare collar (запасной воротничок), leather slippers (кожаные шлепанцы). Then unlocking a cupboard (затем, открыв шкаф), he transferred a dozen or so flattish cardboard boxes about ten inches[38] by seven from a shelf to the suitcase (он переместил дюжину или около того плоских картонных коробок /размером/ примерно десять на семь дюймов с полки в чемодан).
He just glanced at the railway guide on the table (он только посмотрел на железнодорожный справочник на столе) and then left the room (и затем покинул комнату), suitcase in hand (/с/ чемоданом в руке).
Setting it down in the hall (поставив его внизу в холле), he put on his hat and overcoat (он надел шляпу и пальто). As he did so (когда он это сделал) he sighed deeply (он глубоко вздохнул), so deeply (так глубоко) that the girl who came out from a room at the side (что девушка, которая вышла из комнаты сбоку) looked at him in concern (посмотрела на него с тревогой).

Mr. Cust dragged out a suitcase from under the bed and began to pack. Pyjamas, spongebag, spare collar, leather slippers. Then unlocking a cupboard, he transferred a dozen or so flattish cardboard boxes about ten inches by seven from a shelf to the suitcase.
He just glanced at the railway guide on the table and then left the room, suitcase in hand.
Setting it down in the hall, he put on his hat and overcoat. As he did so he sighed deeply, so deeply that the girl who came out from a room at the side looked at him in concern.
"Anything the matter, Mr. Cust (что-нибудь случилось, мистер Каст)?"
"Nothing, Miss Lily (ничего, мисс Лили)."
"You were sighing so (вы так вздыхали)!"
Mr. Cust said abruptly (мистер Каст резко сказал): "Are you at all subject to premonitions, Miss Lily (вы вообще подвержены предчувствиям, мисс Лили; subject — зависимый, подвластный; подверженный /чему-л./)?''
"Well (ну), I don't know that I am (я не знаю, что я), really (действительно) … Of course (конечно), there are days (там есть дни) when you just feel everything's going wrong (когда вы чувствуете, что все идет неправильно), and days (и дни) when you feel everything's going right (когда вы чувствуете, что все идет хорошо)."
"Quite," said Mr. Cust (точно). He sighed again (он опять вздохнул).
"Well, goodbye, Miss Lily (так, прощайте, мисс Лили). Goodbye (прощайте). I'm sure you've been very kind to me always here (я уверен = определенно, вы всегда были добры ко мне здесь)."
sighing ['saIIN], premonition [,pri: [email protected]'nISn], goodbye [gUd'baI]
"Anything the matter, Mr. Cust?"
"Nothing, Miss Lily."
"You were sighing so!"
Mr. Cust said abruptly: "Are you at all subject to premonitions, Miss Lily? To presentiments?''
"Well, I don't know that I am, really … Of course, there are days when you just feel everything's going wrong, and days when you feel everything's going right."
"Quite," said Mr. Cust. He sighed again.
"Well, goodbye, Miss Lily. Goodbye. I'm sure you've been very kind to me always here."
"Well, don't say goodbye (ну, не говорите «прощайте») as though you were going away for ever," laughed Lily (как будто вы уезжаете навсегда, — засмеялась Лили).
"No, no, of course not (конечно, нет)."
"See you Friday," laughed the girl (увидимся /в/ пятницу, — засмеялась девушка). "Where are you going this time (куда вы едите в этот раз)? Seaside again (снова на побережье)?"
"No, no — er — Cheltenham."
"Well, that's nice, too (ну, это тоже хорошо). But not quite as nice as Torquay (но не такое хорошее, как Торки). That must have been lovely (это, должно быть, было чудесно). I want to go there for my holiday next year (я хочу поехать туда на каникулы на будущий год). By the way (кстати), you must have been quite near (вы, должно быть, были совсем рядом) where the murder was (где было убийство) — the A.B.C. murder (убийство /совершенное/ Эй-би-си). It happened while you were down there (это случилось, пока вы были там), didn't it (не так ли)?"
Friday ['fraIdI], seaside ['si:saId], lovely ['lVvlI]
"Well, don't say goodbye as though you were going away for ever," laughed Lily.
"No, no, of course not."
"See you Friday," laughed the girl. "Where are you going this time? Seaside again?"
"No, no — er — Cheltenham."
"Well, that's nice, too. But not quite as nice as Torquay. That must have been lovely. I want to go there for my holiday next year. By the way, you must have been quite near where the murder was — the A.B.C. murder. It happened while you were down there, didn't it?"
"Er — yes. But Churston's six or seven miles away (но Черстон в шести или семи милях оттуда)."
"All the same (все равно), it must have been exciting (это, должно быть, было волнующе)! Why, you may have passed the murderer in the street (ведь вы, возможно, прошли мимо убийцы на улице)! You may have been quite near to him (вы, возможно, были совсем рядом с ним)!"
"Yes, I may (да, я, возможно /был/), of course (конечно)," said Mr. Cust with such a ghastly and contorted smile (с такой жуткой и перекошенной улыбкой; to contort — скручивать, сгибать; перекашивать) that Lily Marbury noticed it (что Лили Марбери заметила это).
"Oh, Mr. Cust, you don't look well (о, мистер Каст, вы не очень хорошо выглядите)."
"I'm quite all right (я вполне в порядке), quite all right. Goodbye, Miss Marbury (прощайте, мисс Марбери)."

"Er — yes. But Churston's six or seven miles away."
"All the same, it must have been exciting! Why, you may have passed the murderer in the street! You may have been quite near to him!"
"Yes, I may, of course," said Mr. Cust with such a ghastly and contorted smile that Lily Marbury noticed it.
"Oh, Mr. Cust, you don't look well."
"I'm quite all right, quite all right. Goodbye, Miss Marbury."
He fumbled to raise his hat (он повозился, чтобы приподнять шляпу; to fumble — нащупывать; теребить), caught up his suitcase (подхватил свой чемодан) and fairly hastened out of the front door (и прямо поспешил к парадной двери; fairly — четко, ясно, отчетливо, явно).
