Граф Монте Кристо 2 часть

Albert passed his hand through his hair, and curled his mustache, then, having satisfied himself as to his personal appearance, followed the count into the room, the latter having previously resumed his hat and gloves. Ali was stationed as a kind of advanced guard, and the door was kept by the three French attendants, commanded by Myrtho.	Альбер провел рукой по волосам и подкрутил усы, а граф снова взял в руки шляпу, надел перчатки и прошел с Альбером в покои, которые, как верный часовой, охранял Али и немного дальше, как пикет, три французские горничные под командой Мирто.
Haidee was awaiting her visitors in the first room of her apartments, which was the drawing-room. Her large eyes were dilated with surprise and expectation, for it was the first time that any man, except Monte Cristo, had been accorded an entrance into her presence. She was sitting on a sofa placed in an angle of the room, with her legs crossed under her in the Eastern fashion, and seemed to have made for herself, as it were, a kind of nest in the rich Indian silks which enveloped her.	Гайде ждала их в первой комнате, гостиной, широко открыв от удивления глаза; в первый раз к ней являлся какой-то мужчина, кроме Монте-Кристо; она сидела на диване, в углу, поджав под себя ноги и устроив себе как бы гнездышко из великолепных полосатых, покрытых вышивкой восточных шелков.
Near her was the instrument on which she had just been playing; it was elegantly fashioned, and worthy of its mistress.	Около нее лежал инструмент, звуки которого выдали ее присутствие. Она была прелестна.
On perceiving Monte Cristo, she arose and welcomed him with a smile peculiar to herself, expressive at once of the most implicit obedience and also of the deepest love. Monte Cristo advanced towards her and extended his hand, which she as usual raised to her lips.	Увидев Монте-Кристо, она приподнялась со своей особенной улыбкой - с улыбкой дочери и возлюбленной; Монте-Кристо подошел и протянул ей руку, которой она, как всегда, коснулась губами.
Albert had proceeded no farther than the door, where he remained rooted to the spot, being completely fascinated by the sight of such surpassing beauty, beheld as it was for the first time, and of which an inhabitant of more northern climes could form no adequate idea.	Альбер остался стоять у двери, захваченный этой странной красотой, которую он видел впервые и о которой во Франции не имели никакого представления.
"Whom do you bring?" asked the young girl in Romaic, of Monte Cristo; "is it a friend, a brother, a simple acquaintance, or an enemy."	- Кого ты привел ко мне? - по-гречески спросила девушка у Монте-Кристо. - Брата, друга, просто знакомого или врага?
"A friend," said Monte Cristo in the same language.	- Друга, - ответил на том же языке Монте-Кристо.
"What is his name?"	- Как его зовут?
"Count Albert; it is the same man whom I rescued from the hands of the banditti at Rome."	- Граф Альбер; это тот самый, которого я в Риме вызволил из рук разбойников.
"In what language would you like me to converse with him?"	- На каком языке ты желаешь, чтобы я говорила с ним?
Monte Cristo turned to Albert.	Монте-Кристо обернулся к Альберу.
"Do you know modern Greek," asked he.	- Вы знаете современный греческий язык? -спросил он его.
"Alas, no," said Albert; "nor even ancient Greek, my dear count; never had Homer or Plato a more unworthy scholar than myself."	- Увы, даже и древнегреческий не знаю, дорогой граф, - сказал Альбер. - Никогда еще у Гомера и Платона не было такого неудачного и, осмелюсь даже сказать, такого равнодушного ученика, как я.
