Plus, he was a drow, and no race in all the world knew better how to lay an ambush than the treacherous dark elves.

Then he hastens back to his ambush in the back gardens, and then learns that Smerdyakov is in a fit, that the other servant is ill -- the coast is clear and he knows the 'signals' -- what a temptation!
Затем стремится на наблюдательный пост "на задах" и там -- и там узнает, что Смердяков в падучей, что другой слуга болен -- поле чисто, а "знаки" в руках его -- какой соблазн!

Dressed in Circassian costume, he performed the riding tricks of the natives and with Bogdanovich had twice gone out and lain in ambush, though on neither occasion did they catch or kill anyone.

I was not long in coming to myself; everything came back to my mind at once, without an effort, as though it had been in ambush to pounce upon me again.
Я приходил в себя недолго; все разом, без усилий, тотчас же мне вспомнилось, как будто так и сторожило меня, чтоб опять накинуться.
