neck (целует ее рот и шею) and her cheeks and her eyes (и ее щеки и глаза).
Julia felt a strange pang in her heart (Джулия почувствовала внезапно, как
странно защемило сердце; pang — внезапная острая боль, муки, мучения).
She took his head in her hands (она

And now she had a notion that he was gently drawing her along, his lips still
pressing hers, she felt quite distinctly the glow of his body, it was as though
there was a furnace inside him, it was really remarkable; and then she found
herself laid on the divan and he was beside her, kissing her mouth and her
neck and her cheeks and her eyes. Julia felt a strange pang in her heart. She
took his head in her hands and kissed his lips.
A few minutes later she was standing at the chimney-piece (несколькими
минутами позже она стояла у камина: «каминной полки»), in front of the
looking-glass (перед зеркалом), making herself tidy (приводя себя в порядок;
tidy — опрятный, аккуратный, чистый).
"Look at my hair (посмотри на мои волосы)."
He handed her a comb (он вручил ей расческу; to hand — передавать, давать в
руки) and she ran it through (и она провела ей /по волосам/). Then she put on her

ней), and over her shoulder (и над своим плечом) she saw his face with those
eager blue eyes (она видела /в зеркале/ его лицо с горящими голубыми
глазами) and a faint smile in them (и легкую улыбку в них).
"And I thought (а я то думала) you were such a shy young man (что ты такой
скромный молодой человек)," she said to his reflection (сказала она его
отражению /в зеркале/).
He chuckled (он усмехнулся).
"When am I going to see you again (когда я увижу тебя снова)?"
"Do you want to see me again (ты

She thought rapidly (она стремительно размышляла). It was too absurd (это
было слишком нелепым: «абсурдным»), of course she had no intention of seeing
him again (конечно же у нее не было ни малейшего намерения видеть его
снова), it was stupid of her (было глупо с ее стороны) to have let him behave like

that (позволить ему вести себя таким образом), but it was just as well to
temporize (но все-таки, пожалуй, лучше было потянуть время; to temporize —
выжидать, медлить, пытаться выиграть время). He might be tiresome (он
мог бы стать навязчивым) if she told him (если бы она сказала ему) that the
incident would have no sequel (что подобное больше не повториться; incident
