"I'm glad they've made friends (я рада, что они подружились)."

Julia meant it (Джулия действительно так считала: «имела это в виду»). She

was slightly disappointed (она была слегка разочарована) that she would not be

able to go on the river with Tom (что она не сможет пойти к реке с Томом), but

she was anxious that Roger should like him (но она /также/ страстно желала,

чтобы Роджеру он понравился), she had a feeling that Roger did not like people

indiscriminately (у нее было такое чувство, что Роджер не любил всех людей

подряд, без разбора); and after all she had the next fortnight to be with Tom (и, в

конце-то концов, у нее было целых две недели: «следующие две недели»

чтобы побыть с Томом).

"I thought you'd gone to play golf."

"No, the boys have gone. I thought they'd have more fun if I let them go alone." He

smiled in his friendly way. "They're a bit too active for me. They were bathing at

eight o'clock this morning, and as soon as they'd swallowed their breakfast they

bolted off in Roger's car."

"They make me feel damned middle-aged (они заставляют меня чувствовать

себя, черт побери, /мужчиной/ средних лет), I don't mind telling you that (не

побоюсь тебе это сказать)," Michael remarked (заметил Майкл).

"What nonsense (какая чепуха). You're much more beautiful than either of them

(ты гораздо, гораздо красивее чем любой из них), and well you know it, my pet

(и ты хорошо это знаешь, моя лапочка; pet — любимое домашнее животное;

любимец, баловень)."

Michael thrust out his jaw a little (Майкл выдвинул подбородок чуть вперед)

and pulled in his belly (и втянул живот).

The boys did not come back (юноши не возвращались назад) till luncheon was

nearly ready (до того самого момента, когда ланч был уже почти готов).

"Sorry we're so late (извините, что мы так поздно)," said Roger. "There was a

filthy crowd (там была отвратительная толпа /народу/; filthy — грязный,

немытый, мерзкий) and we had to wait on nearly every tee (и нам приходилось

ждать почти что у каждой метки для мяча). We halved the match (ничья: «мы

завершили матч с равным количеством ударов»; to halve — делить пополам,

уменьшать наполовину)."

They were hungry and thirsty (они были голодны и хотели пить), excited and

pleased with themselves (возбужденные и довольные собой).

"It's grand having no one here today (так здорово, что сегодня никого нет /из

гостей/)," said Roger. "I was afraid (я боялся) you'd got a whole gang coming
