теплотой), a force of character (силой характера), and a bubbling vitality (и
бьющей ключом жизненной энергией; bubble — пузырек воздуха, бульканье),
which were outside his experience (/с этими качествами/ ему не приходилось
раньше сталкиваться: «которые были за пределами его «жизненного»
опыта»). He went to see her act several times (он несколько раз ходил /в театр/,
чтобы посмотреть, как она играет) and compared her performance (и сравнил ее
игру) with his recollections of the great foreign actresses (с его воспоминаниям о
великих иностранных актрисах). It seemed to him (ему казалось) that she had in
her something quite individual (что она обладала чем-то совершенно
индивидуальным). Her magnetism was incontestable (ее личное обаяние:
«магнетизм» было бесспорным). It gave him quite a thrill (он затрепетал) to
realize on a sudden (когда понял внезапно) that she had genius (что она была
гениальна: «обладала талантом»).

This was life. He did not pay much attention to Michael who seemed to him,
notwithstanding his too obvious beauty, a somewhat ordinary young man, but
he was taken by Julia. She had a warmth, a force of character, and a bubbling
vitality which were outside his experience. He went to see her act several times
and compared her performance with his recollections of the great foreign
actresses. It seemed to him that she had in her something quite individual.

the afternoons (отдыхать /в постели/ днем), she was as strong as a horse (она
была сильна как лошадь) and never tired (и никогда не уставала), so he used
often to take her for walks in the Park (и тогда он частенько брал ее с собой на
прогулки в Гайд-парк). She felt (она чувствовала) that he wanted her to be a
child of nature (что ему хотелось видеть ее ребенком природы: «хотел, чтобы
она была как дитя природы»). That suited her very well (ее это вполне
устраивало). It was no effort for her (ей не требовалось усилий) to be ingenuous
(чтобы быть простодушной), frank (искренней) and girlishly delighted with
everything (и по-девичьи радующейся всему). He took her to the National
Gallery (он брал ее с собой в Национальную галерею), and the Tate (и в
/галерею/ Тейт), and the British Museum (и в Британский музей), and she really
enjoyed it (и она в действительности наслаждалась /этими прогулками/)
almost as much as she said (почти также сильно, как она говорила).

He liked to impart information (ему нравилось делиться знаниями) and she was
glad to receive it (и она с радостью воспринимала их). She had a retentive
memory (она обладала цепкой памятью) and learnt a great deal from him (и
многому научилась у него). If later she was able to talk about Proust and
Cйzanne (если позднее она смогла говорить о Прусте и Сезанне) with the best
of them (в самом избранном обществе: «с самыми лучшими из них»), so that
