Harry’s hopes began once more to arise (надежды Гарри начали снова восставать = он воспрял духом). The lane was both steep and narrow (переулок был и крутой = круто поднимался в гору, и узкий), but it was exceedingly solitary (но он был совершенно безлюден), bordered on either hand by garden walls (окаймленный с обеих сторон садовыми оградами), overhung with foliage (через которые свешивалась листва; to overhang – свешиваться); and, for as far as the fugitive could see in front of him (и насколько беглец мог видеть перед собой), there was neither a creature moving nor an open door (там не было ни души, ни открытой двери: «там ни существа, которое двигалось…»). Providence, weary of persecution (провидение, уставшее от преследования /его/), was now offering him an open field for his escape (теперь предлагало ему открытое поле = свободный путь для побега).

Alas! as he came abreast of a garden door (увы! когда он поравнялся с одной садовой дверцей; abreast – вровень) under a tuft of chestnuts (под купой каштанов), it was suddenly drawn back (она вдруг открылась), and he could see inside, upon a garden path (и он смог увидеть = увидел внутри, на садовой дорожке), the figure of a butcher’s boy with his tray upon his arm (фигуру разносчика из мясной лавки с лотком в руках; butcher – мясник). He had hardly recognised the fact (он едва заметил его: «это») before he was some steps beyond upon the other side (прежде чем пробежал мимо: «оказался на несколько шагов дальше с другой стороны /двери/»). But the fellow had had time to observe him (но у юноши было время заметить его); he was evidently much surprised to see (он был явно сильно удивлен увидеть) a gentleman go by at so unusual a pace (как какой-то господин идет мимо с такой необычной скоростью); and he came out into the lane (и он вышел в переулок) and began to call after Harry with shouts of ironical encouragement (и крикнул Гарри вслед, чтобы иронически подбодрить его: «выкликал крики иронического ободрения»).

His appearance gave a new idea to Charlie Pendragon (его появление подало новую мысль Чарли Пендрагону), who, although he was now sadly out of breath (который, хотя и прискорбно запыхался: «не имел дыхания»; be out of smth. – не иметь чего-то), once more upraised his voice (снова возвысил голос).

“Stop, thief!” he cried (остановись, ворюга! – крикнул он;
