"I don't want to go home (я не хочу ехать домой). I'll go and have supper at a
restaurant (я поеду и поужинаю в ресторане)."
"Who with (с кем это)?"
"By myself (одна)."
Evie gave her a puzzled glance (Эви озадаченно взглянула на нее).
"The play's a success, isn't it (спектакль же имел успех, не так ли)?"

"Shut up, you old hag. Phone through and say that I've got a bad headache and had
to go home to bed, but Mr. Gosselyn will come if he possibly can."
"The party's being given special for you. You can't let the poor old gal down like
that?"
Julia stamped her feet.
"I don't want to go to a party. I won't go to a party."
"There's nothing for you to eat at home."
"I don't want to go home. I'll go and have supper at a restaurant."
"Who with?"
"By myself."
Evie gave her a puzzled glance.
"The play's a success, isn't it?"
"Yes. Everything's a success (да,
(я ощущаю себя на седьмом небе: «на вершине мира»). I feel like a million
dollars (я чувствую себя превосходно: «как миллион долларов»). I want to be
alone and enjoy myself (я хочу побыть одна и насладиться этим). Ring up the
Berkeley and tell them to keep a table for one in the little room (позвони в
«Беркли» и скажи им, чтобы зарезервировали: «придержали» столик на
одного в маленькой зале). They'll know what I mean (они поймут, что я имею в

"What's the matter with you (да что с вами такое)?"
"I shall never in all my life have another moment like this (у меня никогда
больше в жизни не будет такого момента). I'm not going to share it with anyone
(и я не собираюсь делиться с ним с кем бы то ни было)."
When Julia had got her face clean she left it (когда Джулия очистила лицо, она
оставила его /как есть/). She neither painted her lips nor rouged her cheeks (она
не накрасила губы и не нарумянила щеки). She put on again the brown coat and
skirt in which she had come to the theatre and the same hat (она надела снова те
же самые коричневые пиджак и юбку, в которых она приехала в театр,
же самую шляпку). It was a felt hat with a brim (это была фетровая шляпа с
полями), and this she pulled down over one eye (и ее она надвинула: «натянула»
низко на один бок: «над одним глазом») so that it should hide as much of her
face as possible (так, чтобы она скрыла как можно больше ее лицо: «так много
ее лица, как только возможно»). When she was ready she looked at herself in the
glass (когда она была готова, она взглянула на себя в зеркало).

"What's the matter with you?"

"I look like a working dressmaker (я выгляжу, как работающая портниха) whose
husband's left her (которую оставил муж: «чей муж оставил ее»), and who can
blame him (и кто может винить его)? I don't believe a soul would recognize me
(не поверю, что хоть одна душа узнает меня)."
Evie had had the telephoning done from the stage-door (Эви ходила звонить /по
телефону/ к служебному входу), and when she came back Julia asked her if there
were many people waiting for her there (и, когда она вернулась, Джулия
спросила ее, много ли людей ожидает /ее/ там).
"About three 'undred I should say (около трехсот, я бы сказала; 'undred =
hundred)."
"Damn (черт побери)." She had a sudden desire to see nobody and be seen by
nobody (у нее появилось внезапное желание никого не видеть, и не быть ни
кем увиденной). She wanted just for one hour to be obscure (ей хотелось хоть на
