Long before it was done (задолго до того, как это было сделано = уже давно), Mr. Trelawney (that, you will remember, was the squire's name) (мистер Трелони (это, как вы помните, было именем сквайра)) had got up from his seat (поднялся со своего места), and was striding about the room (и /теперь/ расхаживал по комнате;
to stride — /широко/ шагать, шествовать), and the doctor, as if to hear the better (а доктор, словно чтобы лучше слышать), had taken off his powdered wig (снял свой напудренный парик), and sat there, looking very strange indeed with his own close-cropped, black poll (сидел, выглядя действительно очень странно со своими коротко остриженными, черными волосами;

This lad Hawkins is a trump, I perceive (этот Хокинс — славный малый, /как/ я понимаю). Hawkins, will you ring that bell (ты не позвонишь ли в тот колокольчик)?
