Another was occupied by Highland gentlemen and chiefs of small branches, who were amusing themselves with chess, backgammon, and other games, which they scarce intermitted to gaze with curiosity upon the stranger.
В другом зале собрались знатные горцы и представители младших ветвей кланов; они развлекались игрой в шахматы, в триктрак и в другие игры, едва отрываясь, чтобы бросить любопытный взгляд на незнакомца.

"That will be delightful, of course, if it is really amusing," he observed, looking at me searchingly. "Your manners were rather neglected where you were brought up, my dear fellow, though they are pretty passable.
- Это, конечно, премило, если только в самом деле будет смешно, - заметил он, проницательно в меня вглядываясь, - ты немного огрубел, мой друг, там, где ты рос, а впрочем, все-таки ты довольно еще приличен.

But this must be owned, that to love one's relatives is not always an easy task; to live with one's neighbours is sometimes not amusing.
Приходится все же признаться, что любить родственников - дело иной раз не такое уж легкое, и жить с ними под одной кровлей тоже порой бывает не очень-то весело.
