), and he's all the pride of my 'art (он вся гордость моего сердца;
'art = heart). But the great thing for boys is discipline (но прекрасная вещь для мальчиков = главное — дисциплина), sonny — discipline. Now if you had sailed along of Bill (вот если бы ты поплавал с Биллом;
to sail — ходить под парусом, плыть; along of /somebody/ — из-за /кого-то/), you wouldn't have stood there to be spoke to twice — not you (ты не стоял бы там, чтобы тебе говорили дважды — /только/ не ты). That was never Bill's way nor the way of such as sailed with him (это не было никогда привычкой /ни/ Билла, ни таких = тех, которые плавали с ним). And here, sure enough is my mate Bill (а вот, без сомнений, мой приятель Билл), with a spy-glass under his arm (с подзорной трубой под мышкой;
spy — шпионский; glass — стекло, зрительная труба), bless his old 'art to be sure (благослови Бог его старое сердце, конечно же;
'art = heart). You and me'll just go back into the parlour, sonny (ты и я просто вернемся в комнату, сынок), and get behind the door (и станем позади двери = спрячемся за дверью), and we'll give Bill a little surprise (и дадим = устроим Биллу небольшой сюрприз) — bless his 'art, I say again.

1. So saying (так говоря = с этими словами), the stranger backed along with me into the parlour (незнакомец вернулся вместе со мной в комнату; to back — пятиться, отступать), and put me behind him in the corner (и поместил меня позади себя = спрятал у себя за спиной в углу), so that we were both hidden by the open door (так, что мы были оба спрятаны = заслонены открытой дверью; to hide). I was very uneasy and alarmed (я был очень обеспокоен и встревожен), as you may fancy (как вы можете себе представить), and it rather added to my fears (это довольно увеличило мои страхи; to add — добавлять, присоединять, увеличивать) to observe that the stranger was certainly frightened himself (видеть, что незнакомец определенно напуган сам). He cleared the hilt of his cutlass (он высвободил рукоятку кортика) and loosened the blade in the sheath (и немного вытащил клинок из ножен;
