But a calm taking place when the Ramchunder was within ten days' sail of England, Dobbin became so impatient and ill-humoured as to surprise those comrades who had before admired his vivacity and good temper.
Но вот, когда до Англии оставалось еще десять дней пути, корабль попал в штиль, и Доббин стал до того нетерпелив и раздражителен, что товарищи, лишь недавно восхищавшиеся его живостью и хорошим характером, только диву давались.

The necessity of carrying on this dialogue (his part in which was very slow; mine very quick) in a low tone, that the house might not be disturbed at an unseasonable hour, did not improve my temper; though my passion was cooling down.
Необходимость вести этот разговор понизив голос (он говорил очень медленно, а я очень быстро), чтобы в такой неурочный час не потревожить обитателей дома, не способствовала улучшению моего расположения духа; все же я немного остыл.

"Let me help you, Nicola," I said, trying to speak as pleasantly as I possibly could. The idea that I was performing a meritorious action in thus suppressing my ill-temper and offering to help him increased my good humour all the more.
- Позволь, я тебе помогу, Николай, - сказал я, стараясь дать своему голосу самое кроткое выражение; и мысль, что я поступаю хорошо, подавив свою досаду и помогая ему, еще более усилила во мне это кроткое настроение духа.
