An I wished this cold snapd break, - he went on. Its ben fifty below for two weeks now. An I wisht Id never started on this trip, Henry. I dont like the looks of it. I dont feel right, somehow.
My translation «И когда уже эти холода прекратятся», - продолжал он, - «две недели уже мороз пятьдесят градусов. Знал бы – никогда не пустился бы в эту поездку, Генри. Не нравится мне все это: не по себе как-то».
