'I was kept a prisoner to my room the next day, and a judge, a general, and a host of lawyers, officers, and officials, were set upon me to bully, perplex, threaten, and cajole me.
Весь следующий день я просидел под домашним арестом; судья, генерал, и целая орава юристов, офицеров и чиновников допрашивали, уговаривали, стращали и улещали меня.

The general outburst of hatred with which every one fell upon the “ruffian and duelling bully from the capital” also struck me as curious.
Любопытен был для меня и тот взрыв всеобщей ненависти, с которою все у нас накинулись тогда на "буяна и столичного бретера".

He held Yegorushka tight by the leg, and was lifting his hand to take hold of his neck. But Yegorushka tore himself away with repulsion and terror, as though disgusted at being touched and afraid that the bully would drown him, and said: "Fool!
Он крепко держал Егорушку за ногу и уж поднял другую руку, чтобы схватить его за шею, но Егорушка с отвращением и со страхом, точно брезгуя и боясь, что силач его утопит, рванулся от него и проговорил: - Дурак!

"Two Billys" was their private joke for her infatuation with the work of Billy Pigg and William Dunthorn. Something very, very good was "almost two Billys' worth of bully. "
Шутливое выражение «как два Билли» возникло из‑за страстного увлечения Джейни творчеством Билли Пигга и Уильяма Данторна: если что‑то получало наивысшую оценку Джейни и Дедушки, они восклицали: «Здорово, как два Билли, вместе взятых!»

Whatever may have been his incentive, however, up he sprang, and screamed out, "Hold off, Cuff; don't bully that child any more; or I'll -"

Music is a good thing; and after all that soul-butter and hogwash I never see it freshen up things so, and sound so honest and bully.
Хорошая штука музыка! А после всего этого пустословия мне показалось, что никогда еще она не действовала так освежительно и не звучала так искренне и хорошо.

I often advised the dissolution of that Parliament, although I did not think the scoundrels had so much courage; but they have it only in the wrong, like a bully that will fight for a whore, and run away in an army.
Я не раз советовал распустить ваш парламент, хотя и не предполагал, что эти негодяи так расхрабрились; правда, храбры они не там, где надо, как трактирный буян, который рвется в драку из-за шлюхи, но улепетывает с поля боя.

It was added, too, that he had developed into a regular bully, insulting people for the mere pleasure of insulting them.
Прибавляли сверх того, что он какой-то бретер, привязывается и оскорбляет из удовольствия оскорбить.

It took her memory back three years to a day when this boy had attacked her under the benevolent eyes of his mother, thinking to bully a small girl.
Она вспомнила, как однажды, три года назад, парнишка напал на нее при ее благожелательной поддержке, ибо думал, что имеет дело с обычным ребенком.
