And then we got on to drains, and that put George in mind of a very funny thing that happened to his father once. He said his father was travelling with another fellow through Wales, and, one night, they stopped at a little inn, where there were some other fellows, and they joined the other fellows, and spent the evening with them.
They had a very jolly evening, and sat up late, and, by the time they came to go to bed, they (this was when George's father was a very young man) were slightly jolly, too. They (George's father and George's father's friend) were to sleep in the same room, but in different beds. They took the candle, and went up. The candle lurched up against the wall when they got into the room, and went out, and they had to undress and grope into bed in the dark. This they did; but, instead of getting into separate beds, as they thought they were doing, they both climbed into the same one without knowing it — one getting in with his head at the top, and the other crawling in from the opposite side of the compass, and lying with his feet on the pillow.
There was silence for a moment, and then George's father said (минуту
"Joe (Джо)!"
"What's the matter, Tom (что случилось, Том)?" replied Joe's voice from the other end of the bed (ответил голос Джо с другого конца кровати).
"Why, there's a man in my bed (ну, в моей постели какой-то человек)," said George's father; "here's his feet on my pillow (его ноги на моей подушке)."
"Well, it's an extraordinary thing, Tom (удивительная вещь, Том)," answered the other (ответил тот); "but I'm blest if there isn't a man in my bed, too (но черт меня побери, если в моей постели тоже не лежит какой-то человек = черт возьми, да в моей постели тоже кто-то лежит)!"

"Well, it's an extraordinary thing, Tom," answered the other; "but I'm blest if there isn't a man in my bed, too!"
"What are you going to do (что ты собираешься делать)?" asked George's father.
"Well, I'm going to chuck him out (собираюсь вытолкнуть/скинуть его; to chuck — /легонько/ бросить; кинуть; швырнуть)," replied Joe.
"So am I (я тоже)," said George's father, valiantly (храбро сказал отец Джорджа).
There was a brief struggle, followed by two heavy bumps on the floor (произошла короткая борьба, за которой последовали два тяжелых удара об пол; bump — столкновение; глухой тяжелый удар), and then a rather doleful voice said (а потом весьма печальный/страдальческий голос сказал):
"I say, Tom (послушай, Том)!"
"Yes!"
valiantly ['v&lI@ntlI] brief [bri:f]
"What are you going to do?" asked George's father.
"Well, I'm going to chuck him out," replied Joe.
"So am I," said George's father, valiantly.
There was a brief struggle, followed by two heavy bumps on the floor, and then a rather doleful voice said:
"I say, Tom!"
"Yes!"
"How have you got on (как у тебя дела)?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, my man's chucked me out (ну, сказать по правде, мой человек вытолкнул меня)."
"So's mine (мой тоже)! I say, I don't think much of this inn, do you (знаешь, мне не особенно нравится эта гостиница, а тебе)?"
"What was the name of that inn (как называлась та гостиница)?" said Harris.
"The Pig and Whistle (Свинья и Свисток; pigs and whistles — всякая ерунда, мелочи)," said George. "Why (а что)?"
"Ah, no, then it isn't the same (а, нет, тогда это не та)," replied Harris.
"How have you got on?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, my man's chucked me out."
"So's mine! I say, I don't think much of this inn, do you?"
"What was the name of that inn?" said Harris.
"The Pig and Whistle," said George. "Why?"
"Ah, no, then it isn't the same," replied Harris.
"What do you mean (что ты имеешь в виду)?" queried George (спросил Джордж; to query — спрашивать, осведомляться, уточнять).
"Why it's so curious (это очень любопытно)," murmured Harris (пробормотал Гаррис), "but precisely that very same thing happened to my father once at a country inn (точно такой же случай произошел однажды с моим отцом в одной деревенской гостинице). I've often heard him tell the tale (я часто слышал, как он рассказывал эту историю). I thought it might have been the same inn (я думал, это, может быть, та же самая гостиница)."
We turned in at ten that night, and I thought I should sleep well, being tired (мы легли спать в десять в тот вечер, и я подумал, что буду хорошо спать, утомившись); but I didn't (но нет). As a rule, I undress and put my head on the pillow (как правило, я раздеваюсь и кладу голову на подушку), and then somebody bangs at the door, and says it is half-past eight (а потом кто-нибудь стучит в дверь и говорит, что сейчас полдевятого): but, to-night, everything seemed against me (но сегодня вечером, казалось, все было против меня); the novelty of it all, the hardness of the boat, the cramped position (новизна всего этого, жесткость лодки, стесненная = неудобная поза) (I was lying with my feet under one seat, and my head on another) (я лежал, положив ноги под одно сиденье, а голову — на другое), the sound of the lapping water round the boat (звук плещущейся воды вокруг лодки), and the wind among the branches, kept me restless and disturbed (и ветер в ветвях — все это держало меня беспокойным и встревоженным = беспокоило и тревожило меня; to keep — держать, удерживать).
