Dick Sand came down again with Bat and Austin. The "Pilgrim" was then in the sailing condition demanded by that state of the atmosphere which has been qualified as "very stiff."
Дик Сэнд, Бат и Остин спустились на палубу только тогда, когда "Пилигрим" был подготовлен к плаванию при очень свежем ветре, как называют моряки погоду, именуемую на суше бурей.

The cylinder was already opened in the centre of the pit, and on the farther edge of the pit, amid the smashed and gravel-heaped shrubbery, one of the great fighting-machines, deserted by its occupant, stood stiff and tall against the evening sky.
Цилиндр был уже открыт, а в дальнем конце ямы, среди вырванных и засыпанных песком кустов, стоял пустой боевой треножник – огромный металлический остов, резко выступавший на фоне вечернего неба.

But at that minute I heard the stiff outer glass door open heavily with a creak and slam violently; the sound echoed up the stairs.
Но в ту же минуту я услышал снизу, как тяжело, с визгом отворилась тугая наружная стеклянная дверь на улицу и туго захлопнулась. Гул поднялся по лестнице.

Mr Dombey, with a slightly condescending bend of his chin that rustled and crackled his stiff cravat, sat down on a sofa that was near him, to hear the appeal.
Мистер Домби, со снисходительным видом опустив слегка подбородок, отчего затрещал его туго накрахмаленный воротничок, сел на стоявшую поблизости софу, чтобы выслушать просьбу.

Just the old room smelling of polished mahogany and oiled leather in the Morris chair, and hooks sitting stiff on the shelves.
В старом доме пахнет полированнным красным деревом, истёртыми кожаными подушками дедовского кресла, книгами, теснящимися на полках.

This time he was not shy, he was not stiff; downcast and pale, his head on his breast, and his hands on his knees, he sat without moving, merely smiling his dejected smile.
Он не робел на этот раз, не чинился; весь понурый и бледный, с головою на груди и руками на коленях, он сидел неподвижно и только усмехался унылой усмешкой.

He was too tired and stiff and cramped to do more than nod uneasily from time to time, waking with a start and punching the driver with the pistol.
Он был слишком утомлен, чтобы думать, и только время от времени клевал носом и пробуждался на мгновение, чтобы толкнуть дулом револьвера погонщика.

The tunic had not been designed to sit down in, and the stiff leather dug painfully into his fruits whenever he tried to move.
Туника явно не предназначалась для того, чтобы в ней сидеть, и каждый раз, когда он пытался двинуться, жесткая кожа больно впивалась ему в яйца.

Real Japs of course are like men and women, but stage Japs in their stiff brocades are line for line as Japs are drawn.
В обыденной жизни японцы - самые обыкновенные мужчины и женщины, но на сцене, разодетые в негнущееся парчовое платье, они до последнего штриха похожи на японцев с картинок.
