The angry red in the face of the fierce old gentleman turned to purple (раздраженная краснота =

Flustered by the vehemence of the attack, M. Armand took one look at Mrs. Harris and then to Mme. Colbert he made secret ousting movements with his hands and said: "Well, well. You heard. Get rid of her at once."
The angry red in the face of the fierce old gentleman turned to purple, he half arose from his chair, his mouth opening to speak when Mme. Colbert preceded him.
Many thoughts and fears had raced through the Frenchwoman's mind (много мыслей и опасений промчалось через ум =

Many thoughts and fears had raced through the Frenchwoman's mind: her job, prestige of the firm, possible loss of a wealthy client, consequences of defiance of authority. Yet she also knew that though M. Armand was her superior, on this floor she was in supreme command. And now that the unwitting Mrs. Harris was the subject of a cruel attack, the head saleswoman experienced more than ever the feeling of kinship and sisterhood with this strange little visitor from across the Channel returning overpoweringly.
Whatever happened (что бы ни случилось), oust her she could not and would not (выгонять ее она не могла и не стала бы). It would be like beating an innocent child (это было бы все равно что побить невинного ребенка). She thrust out her firm round chin at M. Armand and declared (она выпятила свой крепкий круглый подбородок в сторону мсье Арманда и заявила): "Madame has every right to be seated there (мадам имеет полное право быть посаженной здесь). She has journeyed here from London (она проделала путь сюда из Лондона) especially to buy a dress (специально, чтобы купить платье). If you wish her removed (если вы желаете, чтобы она была удалена), do it yourself (сделайте это сами), for I will not (потому что я не буду)."
