| I'll have no more tonight. | Сегодня больше ни капли. |
| Go up to bed, Mary, before I wring your neck. | Ступай-ка спать, Мэри, пока я не свернул тебе шею. |
| Here's your candle. | Возьми свечу. |
| You'll find your room over the porch." | Твоя комната наверху, прямо над крыльцом. |
| Mary took the candlestick without speaking and was about to pass him when he seized hold of her shoulder and twisted her round. | Не говоря ни слова, Мэрн взяла свечу и собралась идти, но он вдруг схватил ее за плечо и резко повернул к себе. |
