Agatha Christie - Английский язык с Агатой Кристи. Убийства по алфавиту (ASCII-IPA)

"Got everything clear so far, inspector (пока все выяснили, инспектор) ?"

"I think so, sir." Crome consulted a file (я так думаю, сэр, — Кроум заглянул в папку) . "Shall I run over the position to date (следует мне сделать обзор ситуации на сегодняшний день) ?"

"Yes, please (да, пожалуйста) ."

A.C. ['eI'sI], outright ['aUtraIt], tout [taUt]

Conference again.

The Assistant Commissioner, Inspector Crome, Poirot and myself.

The A.C. was saying: "A good tip that of yours, M. Poirot, about checking a large sale of stockings."

Poirot spread out his hands. "It was indicated. This man could not be a regular agent. He sold outright instead of touting for orders."

"Got everything clear so far, inspector?"

"I think so, sir." Crome consulted a file. "Shall I run over the position to date?"

"Yes, please."

"I've checked up with Churston (я проверил по Черстону) , Paignton (Пейнтону) and Torquay (и Торки) . Got a list of people (получил список людей) where he went (к которым: «куда» он ходил) and offered stockings (и предлагал чулки) . I must say (я должен сказать) he did the thing thoroughly (он делал все тщательно) . Stayed at the Pitt (остановился в «Питте») , small hotel near Torre Station (маленьком отеле рядом со станцией Торр) . Returned to the hotel at 10:30 on the night of the murder (вернулся в отель в десять тридцать в ночь убийства) . Could have taken a train from Churston at 10:05 (вероятно, сел на поезд из Черстона на десять ноль пять) , getting to Paignton at 10:15 (прибывающий до Пейнтона в десять пятнадцать) . No one answering to his description noticed on train (ни один, отвечающий его описанию, не был замечен в поезде) or at stations (или на станциях) , but that Thursday was Dartmouth Regatta (но в тот четверг была регата в Дартмуте) and the trains back from Kingswear were pretty full (и поезда, возвращающиеся из Кингсвера, были сильно наполнены) ."

"Bexhill much the same (/в/ Бексхилле почти то же самое) . Stayed at the Glove under his own name (остановился в «Перчатке» под своим собственным именем) . Offered stockings to about a dozen addresses (предлагал чулки примерно по дюжине адресов) , including Mrs. Barnard (включая миссис Барнард) and including the Ginger Cat (и включая /кафе/ «Рыжий кот») . Left hotel early in the evening (покинул отель ранним вечером) . Arrived back in London about 11:30 the following morning (вернулся: «прибыл назад» в Лондон около одиннадцати тридцати на следующее утро) . As to Andover (что касается Эндовера) , same procedure (те же действия: «такая же процедура») . Stayed at the Feathers (останавливался в «Перьях») . Offered stockings to Mrs. Fowler (предлагал чулки миссис Фаулер) , next door to Mrs. Ascher (по-соседству от миссис Эшер: «следующая дверь от миссис Эшер») , and to half a dozen other people in the street (и полудюжине других людей на улице) . The pair Mrs. Ascher had (/ту/ пару, /которая/ была у миссис Эшер) I got from the niece (я получил от племянницы) (name of Drower (/по/ имени Дроуер) ) — they're identical with Cust's supply (они идентичны запасу Каста) ."

"So far, good," said the A.C. (пока хорошо, — сказал заместитель комиссара; so far so good — пока все идет нормально) .

"So far, good," said the A.C..

"Acting on information received," said the inspector (действуя /согласно/ полученной информации) , "I went to the address (я отправился по адресу) given me by Hartigan (/который/ мне дал Хартиган) , but found (но обнаружил) that Cust had left the house about half an hour previously (что Каст покинул дом получасом ранее) . He received a telephone message (он получил телефонный звонок: «сообщение») , I'm told (мне сказали) . First time such a thing had happened to him (в первый раз с ним случилась такая вещь) , so his landlady told me (так его домовладелица сказала мне) ."

"An accomplice?" suggested the Assistant Commissioner (соучастник? — предположил заместитель комиссара) .

"Hardly," said Poirot (едва ли) . "It is odd that (это странно, что) — unless (если не) —"

We all looked at him inquiringly (мы все вопросительно посмотрели на него) as he paused (когда он прервался) .

"Acting on information received," said the inspector, "I went to the address given me by Hartigan, but found that Cust had left the house about half an hour previously. He received a telephone message, I'm told. First time such a thing had happened to him, so his landlady told me."

"An accomplice?" suggested the Assistant Commissioner.

"Hardly," said Poirot. "It is odd that — unless — "

We all looked at him inquiringly as he paused.

He shook his head, however (однако он покачал головой) , and the inspector proceeded (и инспектор продолжил) .
