"For God's sake don't fuss, Evie. Leave me alone."
Evie did not speak. She went on methodically arranging the various objects on the
dressing-table exactly as Julia always wanted them.

to you (когда
Evie turned round and looked at her (Эви повернулась и посмотрела на нее).
She thoughtfully rubbed her finger (она задумчиво провела: «потерла» пальцем)
along her nostrils (под носом: «вдоль ноздрей»).
"Great actress you may be (может быть вы и великая актриса)..."
"Get the hell out of here (катись отсюда ко всем чертям)."
After taking off her stage make-up (после того, как она сняла /с лица/
сценический грим) Julia had done nothing to her face (Джулия не стала ничего
делать с лицом) except put the very faintest shading of blue under her eyes (за
исключением того, что нанесла легчайшие: «самые слабые» тени голубого
цвета на нижние веки: «под глаза»). She had a smooth, pale skin (у нее была
гладкая, бледная кожа) and without rouge on her cheeks (и, без румян на
щеках) or red on her lips (или красной /помады/ на губах) she looked wan (она
выглядела изнуренной: «бледной»). The man's dressing-gown gave an effect (а
мужской халат производил эффект) at once helpless, fragile and gallant
(одновременно беспомощности, хрупкости и элегантности).

(почти что неосознанно) she coughed once or twice consumptively (она
прокашляла пару раз: «раз или два», как чахоточная: «изнурительно»). She
turned off the bright lights on her dressing-table (она отключила яркий свет ламп
на своем туалетном столике) and lay down on the sofa (и прилегла на софу).
Presently there was a knock on the door (тем временем раздался стук в дверь)
and Evie announced Mr. Fennell (и Эви объявила о приходе мистера
Феннелла). Julia held out a white, thin hand (Джулия протянула белую худую
руку).
"I'm lying down (я прилегла: «я лежу»). I'm afraid I'm not very well (боюсь, мне
не здоровится). Find yourself a chair (найди себе кресло). It's nice of you to
come (очень мило с твоей стороны, что ты пришел)."
"I'm sorry (мне жаль, /что тебе нездоровится/). What's the matter (что
случилось)?"
"Oh, nothing (о, ничего)." She forced a smile to her ashy lips (она натужно
улыбнулась бледными: «пепельного цвета» губами). "I haven't been sleeping
very well the last two or three nights (я нехорошо спала последние две или три
ночи)."
