"Oh, Julia, it isn't worth while (о, Джулия, это совершенно того не стоит). We
shall be awfully late (мы ужасно опоздаем)."
"I don't suppose it matters if we miss the first few minutes (я полагаю, не так уж
583
важно, если мы пропустим несколько первых минут)."
His voice was anguished (его голос звучал: «был» страдальчески).
"I promised we wouldn't be late (я обещал, что мы не опоздаем). She's got a very
good scene almost at the beginning (у нее очень хорошая сцена, почти что в
самом начале)."
"I'm sorry, but I can't go without my coffee (извини меня, но я совершенно не
могу обойтись без кофе: «я не могу пойти, без моего кофе»)."

"Is it? I had a long letter from Roger this morning. He seems to be having quite a
good time in Vienna."
Tom's interest subsided. He looked at his watch. When the coffee came Julia said it
was undrinkable. She said she must have some more made.

While they waited for it (пока они ждали его: «кофе») she maintained a bright
flow of conversation (она поддерживала оживленное и плавное течение
беседы;
He looked anxiously at the door (он смотрел с волнением на дверь). And when
the coffee came (и, когда кофе подали) she drank it with maddening deliberation
(она выпила его с приводящей в бешенство неторопливостью;
тому времени, что они сели в машину) he was in a state of cold fury (он
пребывал в состоянии холодной ярости) and he stared silently in front of him (и
584
он уставился в молчании прямо перед собой) with a sulky pout on his mouth (с
угрюмо надутыми губами: «с угрюмым, надутым видом на его рту»;
была собой совершенно довольна: «Джулия не была недовольна собой»).
They reached the theatre two minutes before the curtain rose (они приехали:
«добрались до» в театр за две минуты до того, как подняли занавес) and as
Julia appeared there was a burst of clapping from the audience (и, когда Джулия
появилась /в зале/, раздались аплодисменты зрителей;
disturbed (Джулия, принося извинения людям, которых она тревожила),
threaded her way to her seat in the middle of the stalls (пробралась на свое место:
«проложила свой путь к своему месту», расположенное в середине партера;
Her faint smile acknowledged the applause (ее слабая улыбка выразила
признательность за те аплодисменты) that greeted her beautifully-timed
entrance (что приветствовали ее прекрасно рассчитанное по времени
появление;
but her downcast eyes (но, ее потупленные глаза) modestly disclaimed that it
could have any connexion with her (скромно отрицали какую-либо связь

While they waited for it she maintained a bright flow of conversation. He scarcely
answered. He looked anxiously at the door. And when the coffee came she drank it
with maddening deliberation. By the time they got in the car he was in a state of
cold fury and he stared silently in front of him with a sulky pout on his mouth.
Julia was not dissatisfied with herself. They reached the theatre two minutes before
the curtain rose and as Julia appeared there was a burst of clapping from the
585
audience. Julia, apologizing to the people she disturbed, threaded her way to her
seat in the middle of the stalls. Her faint smile acknowledged the applause that
greeted her beautifully timed entrance, but her downcast eyes modestly disclaimed
that it could have any connexion with her.
