This story can be explained by people who know about ghosts. Tento|||||||||| I've lived long enough in India to know it's best just to tell things the way they happened.

Dumoise worked as our doctor at Meridki in the Punjab, in the north-west of India. ||||||||||v||||| |||||||||Punjab|||||| He was a round, sleepy little man, and he married a young woman as round and sleepy-looking as himself. On|||||||a|||a||žena|jak|||||| C'était un petit homme rond et endormi, et il a épousé une jeune femme aussi ronde et endormie que lui. After their wedding they forgot about the rest of the world and were very happy. Po|||oni||||||||||| Après leur mariage, ils ont oublié le reste du monde et ont été très heureux. Після весілля вони забули про решту світу і були дуже щасливі. Life in Meridki went on quite well without them. Život|||||||| La vie à Meridki s'est déroulée sans eux.

But Dumoise was wrong to shut himself away from the world, as he discovered when there was an epidemic of typhoid in Meridki, and his wife became ill with the disease. Ale||||k|||||||||||tam||neurčitý člen|||||||jeho|||||| ||||||||||||||||||||Typhus|||||||||| Doch Dumoise tat Unrecht, sich von der Welt abzuschotten, wie er feststellen musste, als in Meridki eine Typhusepidemie ausbrach und seine Frau erkrankte. Mais Dumoise a eu tort de s'isoler du monde, comme il l'a découvert lors d'une épidémie de typhoïde à Meridki, où sa femme est tombée malade. Five days were lost before he realized she had more than just a fever. Pět|||||||ona|||||| Three more days passed before he visited Mrs Shute, the engineer's wife, and spoke to her in a nervous way about his trouble.

She almost hit him round the ears. Ona|||||| Elle a failli le frapper aux oreilles. Вона мало не вдарила його по вухах.

'It's a crime you waited so long to tell someone,' she said, and went off immediately to care for the poor woman. to je|||||||k tomu|||||a|odešla|||||||| Seven people in Meridki caught typhoid that winter, and for fifty-six days we fought the disease and brought them back to the world of the living. |||||tyfus||||za||||||||a|přivedli||||to|||| In jenem Winter erkrankten sieben Menschen in Meridki an Typhus, und sechsundfünfzig Tage lang bekämpften wir die Krankheit und holten sie zurück in die Welt der Lebenden. Sept personnes à Meridki ont attrapé la typhoïde cet hiver-là, et pendant cinquante-six jours nous avons combattu la maladie et les avons ramenées dans le monde des vivants. Тієї зими в Мерідках семеро людей захворіли на черевний тиф, і п'ятдесят шість днів ми боролися з хворобою і повернули їх до світу живих.

Just when we thought it was all finished, little Mrs Dumoise became worse again, and died in less than a week. Právě||||||||malá||||||a||v|||| Everyone went to the funeral. Dumoise started crying at the edge of the grave and was taken away by friends at once. Dumoise||||||||||byl|||||| Дюмуаз заплакав на краю могили, і його одразу ж забрали друзі.

After his wife's death, Dumoise went back to their house alone. Po||||Dumoise|||||| He didn't want help. On||| He did his job well, but we all told him he should take a holiday. On|||||ale|my jsme|||||||| Dumoise was grateful for the idea, and went to the hills in north-east India, on a walking tour. Dumoise děkoval||||||a|||||||||na|||

On his way back from the hills, Dumoise went to a place called Bagi.

He returned almost immediately, and so quickly that Dumoise thought he'd probably met some wild animal on the way. on||||||||||že se|||||||| Він повернувся майже одразу, і так швидко, що Дюмуазе подумав, що, напевно, зустрів по дорозі якогось дикого звіра.

When he reached Dumoise, he fell down at his feet. ||||on||||| Blood came from his nose and his face was grey with fear. ||||||jeho||||| Then he said, 'I've seen the Memsahib.' |||jsem viděl||| ||||||die Memsahib

'Where?' asked Dumoise.

I don't know what Dumoise did. Ram Dass said he walked up and down in front of the house and waited for the Memsahib to come up the hill, holding out his arms in front of him like someone who was crazy. |||on|||||v||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Рам Дасс розповів, що він ходив туди-сюди перед будинком і чекав, поки мемсахіб підніметься на пагорб, витягнувши перед собою руки, як божевільний. But no Memsahib came, and the next day Dumoise travelled onwards to Simla, the summer home of the British government in northern India. ||||||||||dále|||||||||||| ||||||||||||Simla|||||||||| He asked Ram Dass endless questions about what had happened to him in Bagi along the way. ||||endlos||||||||||||

Ram Dass could only say he'd met Mrs Dumoise, she'd looked at him from under her hat, and had said the words he'd reported. |||||||||ona by||||||||a||||||hlásil |||||||||||||||||||||||berichtet He never changed his story. on||||

'I don't know where Nuddea is, I've never been to Nuddea, and I don't want to go there, even if I'm paid twice what I usually get to go,' he added. ||||||já jsem||||||||||||dokonce|||||co||||||| "Я не знаю, де знаходиться Нуддеа, ніколи там не був і не хочу туди їхати, навіть якщо мені заплатять удвічі більше, ніж зазвичай", - додав він.

Dumoise passed through Simla without stopping, and then went on to Meridki. Dumoise prošel Simlou||||||||||| There he met the doctor who'd taken his place at the hospital while he was away. |on tam|||||||||||||| |||||der|||||||||| Там він познайомився з лікарем, який зайняв його місце в лікарні під час його відсутності.

At that moment the telegram boy ran in with a telegram from the government offices in Simla. v|||ten||||||||od||||| ||||||||||Telegramm|||||| Dumoise read it with interest. Dumoise|||| It said:

Dumoise threw the telegram on the table. Dumoise|||||| 'Well!' he cried.

The other doctor said nothing. Ten|||| What could he say? Що він міг сказати?

Then he remembered Dumoise had passed through Simla. Wtedy przypomniał sobie, że Dumoise przejeżdżał przez Simlę. Потім він згадав, що Дюмуазе проходив через Сімлу.

'Did you hear about this already and take the job in order to make an end of your-?' Did||||||a||||v||||||| Hast du schon davon gehört und den Job angenommen, um deinem Leben ein Ende zu setzen?

'Not at all. It's the first I've heard of it. to je|||||| But if death comes for me, I won't be sorry.' Ale||||||||| Але якщо смерть прийде за мною, я не буду жалкувати".

In the half-light the other man helped to put Dumoise's things back in his bags. V||||ten||||||||||| ||||||||||Dumoise's Sachen||||| У напівтемряві інший чоловік допоміг скласти речі Дюмуаза назад у сумки. Ram Dass came in with a light. Рам Дасс увійшов зі світлом.

'Where's the Sahib going?' ||der Sahib| "Куди йде сагіб? he asked.

'To Nuddea,' answered Dumoise softly.

At that, Ram Dass fell to the floor, pulling at Dumoise's legs and asking him not to go. ||Ram||||||||||||||| Daraufhin fiel Ram Dass zu Boden, zerrte an Dumoises Beinen und bat ihn, nicht zu gehen. He cried and moaned until he was told to leave the room. On|||naříkal|||||||| Er weinte und stöhnte, bis er aufgefordert wurde, den Raum zu verlassen. Then he put all his things together and came to ask for a reference. |||||||a||||||doporučení Dann packte er alle seine Sachen zusammen und kam, um eine Referenz zu erbitten.

'I'm not going to Nuddea to see the Sahib die, and perhaps die myself,' he said. Já jsem||||||||||a||||| Ich gehe nicht nach Nuddea, um den Sahib sterben zu sehen und vielleicht selbst zu sterben", sagte er. Je ne vais pas à Nuddea pour voir mourir le Sahib, et peut-être mourir moi-même", a-t-il déclaré.

So Dumoise paid him, gave him a reference, and went to Nuddea alone. Dumoise bezahlte ihn, gab ihm eine Empfehlung und ging allein nach Nuddea. Dumoise le paya, lui donna une référence et se rendit seul à Nuddea. Eleven days later he'd joined his Memsahib, and the Bengal government had to find a new doctor to fight the epidemic in Nuddea. jedenáct||||||||ten||||||his wife|||k||||| ||||||Frau|||||||||||||||| Elf Tage später schloss er sich seinem Memsahib an, und die bengalische Regierung musste einen neuen Arzt zur Bekämpfung der Epidemie in Nuddea finden.
