Backing warily away until he was out of reach of a sudden bludgeon blow (пятясь осторожно, пока он /не/ оказался вне досягаемости неожиданного удара дубиной), he turned and melted around the northwest angle of the wall (он повернулся и исчез за северо-западным углом стены). Reaching his horse he paused to ascertain that the blacks were not sneaking after him (добравшись до своей лошади, он остановился, /чтобы/ убедиться, что черные не крадутся за ним), and then he climbed into the saddle and stood upright on it (и затем он забрался в седло и стал вверх на него = и забрался на него ногами; upright — вертикально, прямо, стоймя), quieting the uneasy steed with a low word (успокаивая беспокойного коня тихим словом). He reached up, grasped the coping of the wall over (он потянулся вверх, схватился за карниз стены) and drew himself up and and over (подтянулся вверх и /перебрался/ через /него/; to draw up — подтянуться; to draw over — перебраться). There he studied the grounds for an instant (там он изучил участок = окрестности за минуту). The tavern was built in the southwest corner of the enclosure (таверна была построена в юго-западном углу огороженного участка), the remaining space of which was occupied by groves and gardens (оставшееся пространство которого было занято рощами и садами). He saw no one in the grounds (он не увидел никого на участке). The tavern was dark and silent (таверна была темной и безмолвной), and he knew all the doors and windows were barred and bolted (и он знал, /что/ все двери и окна были закрыты решетками и засовами; to bar — запирать на засов, закрывать решетками; to bolt — запирать на засов).
