2. He was growing more and more excited (он становился все больше и больше взволнованным; to grow — расти, усиливаться, становиться), and this alarmed me for my father (это встревожило меня = я испугался за отца), who was very low that day (который чувствовал себя очень плохо в тот день), and needed quiet (и нуждался в покое); besides, I was reassured by the doctor (кроме того, я был успокоен /словами/ доктора = слова доктора внушили мне уверенность/смелость; to reassure — уверять, убеждать; успокаивать; утешать; sure — уверенный), and rather offended by the offer of a bribe’s words (и весьма обижен предложением взятки; bribe — взятка, подкуп; words — слова, речь, обещания), now quoted to me (сделанным мне; to quote — сделать предложение, назначить цену).

1. 'Look, Jim, how my fingers fidgets, he continued, in the pleading tone. 'I can't keep 'em still, not I. I haven't had a drop this blessed day. That doctor's a fool, I tell you. If I don't have a drain o' rum, Jim, I'Il have the horrors; I seen some on 'em already. I seen old Flint in the corner there, behind you; as plain as print, I seen him; and if I get the horrors, I'm a man that has lived rough, and I'll raise Cain. Your doctor himself said one glass wouldn't hurt me. I'll give you a golden guinea for a noggin, Jim.

1. 'I want none of your money (мне не нужны ваши деньги), said I, 'but what you owe my father (кроме /того/, что вы задолжали моему отцу; to owe — быть обязанным, задолжать). I'll get you one glass, and no more (я принесу вам один стакан, и не более; to get — доставать, приносить, получить).
2. When I brought it to him (когда я принес стакан ему), he seized it greedily, and drank it out (он схватил его жадно и выпил до дна).
3. 'Ay, ay (есть = хорошо; ay — да), said he, 'that's some better, sure enough (/мне сразу/ стало лучше, без сомнения). And now, matey, did that doctor say (а теперь, /послушай/, дружок, доктор сказал) how long I was to lie here in this old berth (сколько: «как долго» я должен лежать здесь, на этой старой койке)?
4. 'A week at least (неделю, по крайней мере), said I.
