). My train reached there in the evening (мой поезд прибыл туда вечером); I would spend the next day, Tuesday, in a wander over the hills (я хотел провести следующий день – вторник, – гуляя по холмам; wander – странствие), which were said to be very fine (о которых говорили, /что они/ очень красивы; fine – тонкий, утонченный; прекрасный, превосходный), and in taking a glance at the famous Castle (и разглядывая знаменитый замок; glance – быстрый взгляд; to take a glance – взглянуть на), and go over by train to Strelsau on the Wednesday morning (и в среду утром поездом поехать в Стрелсо), returning at night to sleep at Zenda (/а/ вечером вернуться на ночлег: «спать» в Зенду).

As soon as we reached the Ruritanian frontier (where the old officer who presided over the Custom House favoured me with such a stare that I felt surer than before of my Elphberg physiognomy), I bought the papers, and found in them news which affected my movements. For some reason, which was not clearly explained, and seemed to be something of a mystery, the date of the coronation had been suddenly advanced, and the ceremony was to take place on the next day but one. The whole country seemed in a stir about it, and it was evident that Strelsau was thronged. Rooms were all let and hotels overflowing; there would be very little chance of my obtaining a lodging, and I should certainly have to pay an exorbitant charge for it. I made up my mind to stop at Zenda, a small town fifty miles short of the capital, and about ten from the frontier. My train reached there in the evening; I would spend the next day, Tuesday, in a wander over the hills, which were said to be very fine, and in taking a glance at the famous Castle, and go over by train to Strelsau on the Wednesday morning, returning at night to sleep at Zenda.

Accordingly at Zenda I got out (итак, я сошел в Зенде; accordingly – соответственно; таким образом; to get out – выходить, высаживаться), and as the train passed where I stood on the platform (и, когда поезд проходил мимо меня, стоящего на платформе; to stand), I saw my friend Madame de Mauban in her place (я увидел свою знакомую, госпожу де Мобан, на своем месте; friend – друг; знакомый); clearly she was going through to Strelsau (/было/ ясно, что она едет прямиком в Стрелсо; through – сквозь, через; прямо, без пересадки), having, with more providence than I could boast, secured apartments there (забронировав там апартаменты с большой предусмотрительностью, которой я похвастаться /не/ мог; to secure – обеспечивать безопасность, охранять; обеспечивать). I smiled to think how surprised George Featherly would have been to know (я улыбнулся, подумав, как был бы удивлен Джордж Фэзерли, /если бы/ узнал) that she and I had been fellow travellers for so long (что мы с ней так долго были попутчиками: «товарищами по путешествию»; fellow – человек, парень; товарищ, собрат).

I was very kindly received at the hotel (меня очень любезно приняли в гостинице) – it was really no more than an inn (на самом деле, это был не более, чем постоялый двор; really – действительно; на самом деле; inn – гостиница /обычно за городом/; трактир, постоялый двор) – kept by a fat old lady and her two daughters (который содержала полная пожилая дама с двумя дочерьми;
