They were to leave on Easter Monday because they were playing that night,

And on Sunday evening after supper Colonel Gosselyn said he was going to his

Study to write letters; a minute or two later Mrs. Gosselyn said she must go

And see the cook. When they were left alone Michael, standing with his back

To the fire, lit a cigarette.

"I’m afraid it's been very quiet down here; I hope you haven't had an awfully

dull time."

"It's been heavenly."

"You've made a tremendous success with my people (ты имела грандиозный

успех у моих родителей: «моих людей»). They've taken an enormous fancy to

you (они чрезвычайно привязались к тебе; enormous — громадный, огромный,

грандиозный, to take a fancy for /to/ smb. — полюбить кого-либо,

привязаться)."

"God, I've worked for it (Боже, я билась на этим: «работала» для этого),"

thought Julia, but aloud said (подумала Джулия, но вслух сказала): "How d'you

know (откуда ты знаешь)?"

"Oh, I can see it (о, я вижу это: «я могу видеть это»). Father told me (отец

сказал мне, что) you were very ladylike (ты очень похожа на леди /и манерами

Julia looked down (Джулия опустила глаза: «потупила взор») as though the

extravagance of these compliments (как будто щедрость: «преувеличение,

расточительство» этих комплиментов) was almost more than she could bear

(было почти невозможно вынести: «больше, чем она могла вынести»).

Michael came over (Майкл приблизился, подошел /к ней/: «подошел через»)

and stood in front of her (и остановился: «встал» перед ней). The thought

occurred to her (ей пришла в голову мысль) that he looked like a handsome

young footman (что он выглядит, как красивый молодой лакей) applying for a

situation (который подает заявление о приеме на работу; to apply —

обращаться с просьбой, просить). He was strangely nervous (он был

необычно взволнован; strangely — странно, необычно, удивительно). Her

heart thumped against her ribs (ее сердце неистово билось в груди: «колотилось

о ребра»).
