She prays that if he does take a notion to catch up with her, he will see what's happening and run the other way as fast as he can, run silent and get Reg.
А если заметит, что тут делается, не подходил бы к ним, а сразу бежал за Регом.

«Father,» said the armourer, «she prays; I dare no more speak to her than to a bishop when he says mass.»
— Отец, — сказал оружейник, — она молится… Я не смею с ней заговорить, как не смел бы прервать епископа, когда он служит обедню.

He prayed fervently, shedding tears and bowing down to the earth, and when he had finished, heaved a deep sigh and said: "Even though one does not believe it makes one somehow easier when one prays a little.
Он молился горячо, с земными поклонами и со слезами, и когда кончил, глубоко вздохнул и сказал: - Хоть и не веришь, но оно как-то покойнее, когда помолишься.

“I was christened Fyodor Fyodorovitch. My mother is living to this day in these parts; she's an old woman, and grows more and more bent every day, she prays to God for me, day and night, so that she doesn't waste her old age lying on the stove.”
- Крестили Федором Федоровичем; доселе природную родительницу нашу имеем в здешних краях-с, старушку божию, к земле растет, за нас ежедневно день и нощь бога молит, чтобы таким образом своего старушечьего времени даром на печи не терять.

That man who appears in court for scoundrels, rushes in here in the night and prays, lying prostrate, banging his head on the ground by the half-hour--and for whom do you think he prays?Who are the sinners figuring in his drunken petitions?
За мошенников в суде стоит, а сам ночью раза по три молиться встает, вот здесь в зале, на коленях, лбом и стучит по получасу, и за кого-кого ни молится, чего-чего ни причитает, спьяна-то?

I couldn't undo what was done; and when he begs and prays, "Old pardner, on my knees, don't split upon me!" I only makes answer "Never speak another word to Roger Riderhood, nor look him in the face!" and I shuns that man.'
Не мог же я переменить того, что было сделано, а как стал он просить и молить: "На коленях тебя прошу, не выдавай меня, старый товарищ!" - я одно только ответил: "Не говори со мной больше, даже не гляди на меня!" - и теперь я его чураюсь.

How she weeps and prays in the long silent nights--how she tries to hide from herself the thought which will return to her, that she ought to part with the boy, that she is the only barrier between him and prosperity.
Как она плачет и молится в долгие безмолвные ночи! Как старается скрыть от себя самой мысль, которая снова и снова к ней возвращается, - мысль, что она должна расстаться с мальчиком, что она - единственная преграда между ним и его благополучием!

'Mother most pure, Mother most chaste, Mother ever-virgin, pray for me!' he stammered in his fear, pressing close to the Virgin's feet, as if he could hear Albine's sonorous footfalls behind him.
– Пречистая матерь, честнейшая матерь, матерь‑присно‑дева, молись за меня! – пугливо лепетал он, прижимаясь к ногам мадонны, будто все еще слыша за спиною звонкий бег Альбины.

We part, and perchance for ever, yet I pray of you to think of me kindly, for I have loved you and I love you; I was the mother of your children, whom being Christian, you will meet again.
Мы расстаемся навеки, но, прошу тебя, не думай обо мне плохо, ибо я любила тебя и люблю. Я была матерью твоих сыновей; их ты сделал христианами и с ними, может быть, встретишься.
