please [pli: z], feet [fi: t], tread [tred]

Conan followed Aram down a corridor lighted by copper lamps, and it did not please him to note his host's noiseless tread. Aram's feet were clad in soft slippers and the hallway was carpeted with thick Turanian rugs; but there was an unpleasant suggestion of stealthiness about the Zamboulan.

At the end of the winding corridor, Aram halted at a door (в конце извилистого коридора Арам остановился у двери), across which a heavy iron bar rested in powerful metal brackets (поперек которой покоился тяжелый железный засов в мощных металлических скобах). This Aram lifted and showed the Cimmerian into a well-appointed chamber (его Арам поднял и провел киммерийца в хорошо обустроенную комнату), the windows of which, Conan instantly noted, were small and strongly set with twisted bars of iron, tastefully gilded (окна которой, сразу заметил Конан, были маленькими и крепко заделаны витыми решетками из железа, украшенными со вкусом; to set — установить, поставить; taste — вкус). There were rugs on the floor, a couch, after the Eastern fashion, and ornately carven stools (/там/ были ковры на полу, кушетка по восточной моде и витиевато резные табуретки). It was a much more elaborate chamber than Conan could have procured for the price nearer the center of the city (это была гораздо более изысканная комната, чем Конан мог раздобыть по такой цене ближе к центру города; elaborate — искусно сделанный; тонкой работы) — a fact that had first attracted him (факт, который сначала привлек его), when, that morning, he discovered how slim a purse his roistering for the past few days had left him (когда в то утро он обнаружил, насколько тощий кошелек оставил ему его кутеж в течение прошедших нескольких дней). He had ridden into Zamboula from the desert a week before (он прискакал в Замбулу из пустыни неделю назад; to ride — скакать, ехать верхом).
