 When all was ready for the feast at the castle, and the company were assembled, the king was for banishing the white dog; but the youngest daughter would not listen to her father, – would not let the white dog out of her sight, but kept him near her at the feast, and divided with him the food that came to herself.

When the feast was over (когда пир закончился: «был окончен»), and all the guests had gone (и все гости ушли; to go /went, gone/), the three sisters went to their own rooms in the castle (три сестры пошли в свои собственные комнаты в замке).


 When the feast was over, and all the guests had gone, the three sisters went to their own rooms in the castle.

Late in the evening (поздно вечером) the queen took the cook with her (королева взяла с собой кухарку; to take /took, taken/), and stole in to see what was in her daughters’ rooms (и крадучись пошла посмотреть, что было в комнатах ее дочерей; to steal /stole, stolen/ – воровать, красть; красться, прокрадываться, скользнуть /куда-л./). They were all asleep at the time (они все спали: «были спящими» в это время).

Then she went to where the other two daughters were sleeping (затем она пошла туда, где спали две другие дочери); and there (и там), instead of the two men who brought them to the feast (вместо двух мужчин, которые привели их на пир; to bring /brought/ – приносить; приводить /с собой/), were two seals, fast asleep (были два тюленя, крепко спящие).
