Quivering in the air like an insect with a shimmer of bright colours, the bustard flew high up in a straight line, then, probably frightened by a cloud of dust, swerved to one side, and for a long time the gleam of his wings could be seen...
Дрожа в воздухе, как насекомое, играя своей пестротой, стрепет поднялся высоко вверх по прямой линии, потом, вероятно испуганный облаком пыли, понесся в сторону и долго еще было видно его мелькание...

But at that moment, as if understanding he'd seen her, the shimmer moved farther back into the shadows.
В тот самый момент, словно поняв, что тайное становится явным, мерцание сдвинулось дальше, в тень.

I shut the closet to conceal the strange, wraith-like apparel it contained; which, at this evening hour- nine o'clock- gave out certainly a most ghostly shimmer through the shadow of my apartment.
Я захлопнула шкаф, чтобы не видеть призрачной одежды, которая в этот вечерний час - было около девяти часов - светилась в сумерках, заливших мою комнату зловещим, неестественно белым светом.

From it came a faint shimmer of heat, as one might feel coming from a hearth six or eight hours after the last embers have burned out, and a smell that set her stomach clamoring all over again.
Из духовки тянуло теплом, таким тянет от потухшего костра, когда под слоем золы еще тлеют угольки, и запахом, от которого вновь свело желудок.

The ectoplasm had vanished, leaving only a faint shimmer on the bodies; the other victims had been found too late, no trace of ectoplasmic attack remaining.
Эктоплазма исчезла, оставив лишь тускло светящиеся тела; остальные жертвы были обнаружены слишком поздно, поэтому следов эктоплазмы возле них не было.

A moment later, the holes running along the bright flank of the tanker began to shimmer. The oil beneath them was on fire.
И тут же дырки в боку цистерны потеряли четкость, заколыхались в мареве: загорелась вытекшая на землю нефть.

The hazy shimmer became murkier, sinking through gray to charcoal, then to black as deep as the heart of the Ways.
Туманное мерцание стало сумрачнее, от серого до антрацитово-черного, затем стало черным, как в самом сердце Путей.

Медленно он поднялся и поковылял дальше в жаркое марево.
