He crushed the stub of his cigarette on the ashtray and took her hand and kissed it.

He slowly ran his lips up her arm. It gave Julia a funny little sensation. The beard

slightly tickled her skin. Then he leant over and kissed her lips. His beard had a

somewhat musty smell, which she found peculiar; she was not sure if it revolted or

thrilled her. It was odd when she came to think of it, she had never been kissed by

a man with a beard before. It seemed strangely indecent. He snapped out the light.

He did not leave her till a chink of light through the drawn blind warned them that

day had broken. Julia was shattered morally and physically.

"I shall look a perfect wreck (я буду выглядеть настоящей развалиной; wreck —

крушение; обломки) when we get to Cannes (когда мы приедем в Канны)."

And what a risk to take (и какой риск; to take a risk — рискнуть)! He might have

murdered her (он мог ведь убить ее) or stolen her pearl necklace (или украсть ее

жемчужное ожерелье). She went hot and cold all over (ее всю бросало то в жар,

то в холод; to go hot and cold — краснеть и бледнеть) as she pictured to herself

(когда она представляла: «рисовала» себе) the danger she had incurred (все те

опасности, которые она навлекла на себя). He was going to Cannes too (он

тоже направлялся: «ехал» в Канны). Supposing he claimed acquaintance with

her there (предположим, что он будет претендовать на знакомство с ней там;

to claim — требовать, предъявлять притязания, заявлять), how on earth

(каким же образом) was she going to explain him to her friends (она сможет

объяснить знакомство с ним: «его» своим друзьям)? She felt sure (она

чувствовала уверенность в том, что) Dolly wouldn't like him (Долли он не

понравится). He might try to blackmail her (он может попытаться

шантажировать ее). And what should she do (и как ей придется поступить:

«что ей придется делать») if he wanted to repeat the experience (если он захотел
