Totrasmek still grasped it in his stiffening hand (Тотрасмек все еще сжимал ее в своей застывающей руке; stiff — тугой, негибкий, неэластичный, жесткий; to stiffen — застывать; затвердевать). Ruthlessly she tore it from his locked fingers (безжалостно она вырвала ее из его стиснутых пальцев) and then began frantically to ransack his garments (и потом начала неистово обыскивать его одежду).

"What the devil are you looking for?" Conan demanded (какого …[55] ты ищещь? — спросил Конан).

"A ring — he stole it from Alafdhal (кольцо — он украл его у Алафдала). He must have, while my lover walked in madness through the streets (он, должно быть, /украл его/, пока мой любовник бродил в безумии по улицам). Set's devils (демоны Сета)!"

She had convinced herself that it was not on the person of Totrasmek (она убедилась, что его не было на = у человека Тотрасмека). She began to cast about the chamber, tearing up divan covers and hangings (она начала метаться по комнате, разрывая обивку дивана и драпировку) and upsetting vessels (и переворачивать сосуды).

She paused and raked a damp lock of hair out of her eyes (она остановилась и откинула мокрую прядь волос с глаз). "I forgot Baal-pteor (я забыла Баал-птеора)!"

"He's in Hell with his neck broken," Conan assured her (он в аду со сломанной шеей, — заверил ее Конан).
