All those deep convoluted channels and passageways, and yet she managed to toss her pebble right down to the bottom of it all.
Хотя лабиринт твоей души настолько запутан, что обычно все застревает где-нибудь на полпути, этот кто-то умудряется попадать своими камушками в самую сердцевину.

A pebble in your shoe was small compared to having your head cut off, but if the pebble was there and the chopping block might never be...
Забившийся в туфлю камешек не идет ни в какое сравнение с тем, что тебе голову отрубят, но если камешек досаждает уже долго, а плахи рядом не видать...

The address was in Kentish Town, and turned out to be one of a clutch of low-rise sixties council blocks, with freshly painted woodwork, window-boxes, trimmed hedges and a pebble-dashed row of garages to one side.
Адрес привел меня в Кентиш-Таун, к одной из муниципальных малоэтажек постройки шестидесятых годов. Свежевыкрашенные деревянные вставки, цветочные ящики на окнах, аккуратно подстриженная живая изгородь и отштукатуренные гаражи с одной стороны.

I was going to throw that pebble, I looked at it and then it all began: I felt that it existed.
Я уже собрался швырнуть камень, поглядел на него, и тут-то все и началось: я почувствовал, что он существует.

The fanatic let her go, and staggered backward, half stupified; while Phoebe instantly betook herself to flight, screaming for help as she ran, but still grasping the victorious pebble.
Фанатик выпустил ее и отшатнулся, ошеломленный, а Фиби бросилась бежать; она громко звала на помощь и по-прежнему сжимала в руке спасительный камень.
