(" The blasted fool, why does he talk all that rot? Doesn't he know I'm crazy to
marry him? Why doesn't he kiss me, kiss me, kiss me? I wonder if I dare tell
him I'm absolutely sick with love for him. " )
" Michael, you're so handsome. No one could refuse to marry you! "
" Darling! "
(" I'd better get up. He wouldn't know how to sit down. God, that scene that
Jimmie made him do over and over again! " )
She got on her feet and put up her face to his. He took her in his arms and
kissed her lips.
" I must tell mother. "
He broke away from her and went to the door.
" Mother, mother! "
In a moment (через мгновение) the Colonel and Mrs. Gosselyn came in (вошли
полковник и миссис Госселин). They bore a look (у них был вид: «они
выглядели») of happy expectancy (счастливого ожидания; to expect — ждать,
рассчитывать, надеяться). (" By God (ей-богу), it was a put-up job (это было
подстроено; put-up job — подлог, инсценировка, подстроенное дело). " )
" Mother, father, we're engaged (мама, отец, мы помолвлены). "
Mrs. Gosselyn began to cry (миссис Госселин начала плакать). With her
awkward, lumbering gait (своей неуклюжей, тяжелой: «рубящей» походкой)
she came up to Julia (она подошла к Джулии), flung her arms round her (обняла
ее: «раскинула свои руки вокруг нее»), and sobbing (и всхлипывая), kissed her
(поцеловала ее). The Colonel wrung his son's hand (полковник пожал руку
/своего/ сына) in a manly way (по-мужски) and releasing Julia from his wife's
embrace (и высвободив Джулию из объятий своей жены; to release —
освобождать, высвобождать, избавлять) kissed her too (поцеловал и ее
тоже). He was deeply moved (он был глубоко тронут). All this emotion worked
on Julia (все эти эмоции подействовали и на Джулию; to work on —
оказывать влияние, убеждать) and, though she smiled happily (и, хотя она
улыбалась счастливо), the tears coursed down her cheeks (слезы полились:
«потекли» по ее щекам). Michael watched the affecting scene (Майкл
наблюдал: «смотрел на» за этой трогательной сценой) with sympathy (с

симпатией; sympathy — расположение, сочувствие, сострадание).
" What d'you say to a bottle of pop (как насчет: «что вы скажете о» бутылочке
шипучки; pop — хлопок, выстрел, шипучий напиток) to celebrate (чтобы
отпраздновать)? " he said. " It looks to me (по-моему) as though mother and Julia
(похоже на то, что мать и Джулия) were thoroughly upset (чрезвычайно
взволнованы, выбиты из колеи). "
" The ladies (дамы), God bless ‘em (дай вам: «им» Бог здоровья; to bless —
благословлять, перекрестить, просить милости у Бога, ‘em = them), " said the
Colonel (сказал полковник) when glasses were filled (когда бокалы были
наполнены; to fill — наполнять, заполнять, переполнять).
