Barker, Clive

The sweat-making business of learning to walk again, and the slow realisation that his leg had mended "short." That he was going to be permanently lame.
Как трудно было заново учиться ходить! И как ужасно было осознать, что сросшаяся нога стала короче, и он всю жизнь будет хромать.

My back had now become very stiff and sore, my tonsils were painful from the cabman's fingers, and the skin of my neck had been scratched by his nails; my feet hurt exceedingly and I was lame from a little cut on one foot.
Спину ломила, под ухом ныло от удара, нанесенного извозчиком, кожа была расцарапана его ногтями, ноги сильно болели, и из-за пореза на ступне я прихрамывал.

And when I'm too deaf, and too lame, and too blind, and too mumbly for want of teeth, to be of any use at all, even to be found fault with, than I shall go to my Davy, and ask him to take me in.'
А когда я буду глухой, и хромой, и слепой и шамкать начну, потому что все зубы растеряю, и вовсе уже ни на что не буду годна, даже на то, чтобы придираться ко мне, тогда я пойду к моему Дэви и попрошу его принять меня.
