3. 'Much I care,' returned the doctor. 'It's the name of a buccaneer of my
acquaintance; and I call you by it for the sake of shortness, and what I have to
say to you is this: one glass of rum won't kill you, but if you take one you'll
take another and another, and I stake my wig if you don't break off short,

we managed to hoist him upstairs (мы сумели поднять его наверх), and laid him
on his bed (уложили его на кровать), where his head fell back on the pillow (где
его голова упала на подушку; to fall), as if he were almost fainting (как если бы

2. 'Now, mind you (итак, помните),' said the doctor, 'I clear my conscience (я

3. And with that he went off to see my father (с такими словами он ушел =
отправился смотреть моего отца), taking me with him by the arm (беря меня с

him quiet a while (я выпустил крови достаточно, чтобы держать его

1. ABOUT noon I stopped at the captain's door (около полудня я остановился в
двери капитана = вошел к капитану) with some cooling drinks and medicines (с
прохладительным питьем и лекарствами). He was lying very much as we had
left him (он лежал почти в том же положении, как мы его оставили; much as
— подобно тому, как, почти как), only a little higher (только немного повыше;
high — высокий), and he seemed both weak and excited (и казался слабым и
