The lime was burning with a sluggish stifling smell , but the fires were made up and left , and no workmen were visible . Hard by was a small stone - quarry . It lay directly in my way , and had been worked that day , as I saw by the tools and barrows that were lying about .
Известь горела с вялым удушливым запахом, но костры развели и потушили, а рабочих не было видно. Неподалеку находился небольшой каменоломня. Он лежал прямо на моем пути, и в тот день его обрабатывали, как я видел по валявшимся повсюду инструментам и тачкам.
