He had been drinking , and his eyes were red and bloodshot . Around his neck was slung a tin bottle , as I had often seen his meat and drink slung about him in other days . He brought the bottle to his lips , and took a fiery drink from it ; and I smelt the strong spirits that I saw flash into his face .
Он выпил, и его глаза были красными и налитыми кровью. На шее у него висела жестяная бутылка, так же, как в другие дни я часто видел, как на нем висели еда и питье. Он поднес бутылку к губам и отпил из нее горящий глоток; и я почувствовал сильный дух, который я видел, мелькнувший на его лице.
