Bateman thanked his stars it was (Бейтман был рад: «поблагодарил свои /счастливые/ звезды», что было темно). He felt that he must look prodigiously foolish in his blue serge suit and high collar (он чувствовал, что должно быть выглядит необыкновенно глупо в синем саржевом костюме, со стоячим воротничком: «в высоком воротнике») — very neat and gentlemanly (очень аккуратно и прилично/как подобает джентльмену;

He was seething with indignation, and he had never in his life exercised more self-control than now when he presented an affable exterior. He was furious with that old man, sitting at the head of the table, half-naked, with his saintly face and the flowers on his handsome white locks. The whole position was monstrous.
Then dinner came to an end (ужин подошел к концу), and Eva and her mother remained to clear away (Эва с матерью остались убирать посуду со стола) while the three men sat on the verandah (в то время как трое мужчин уселись на веранде). It was very warm (было очень тепло) and the air was scented with the white flowers of the night (и воздух был наполнен благоуханием белых ночных цветов).
