In each napkin were two little antifat rusks. Lena gave a bright smile as she put them by the side of her plate.

Lena smiled bravely. | The stony silence that followed this speech was only broken by the entrance of the butler. | She threw herself on her knees and enveloped what she could of Frank in her own plump arms. She wept and the mascara ran down her cheeks. | Beatrice only wanted peace and quiet. | It was like the roll of thunder in the distant mountains. Beatrice looked at her coolly. | Frank called her a name which ladies seldom apply to one another in affection. In a moment the waiter brought her croissants, butter, jam and coffee. | The potatoes were brought. Not all the perfumes of Arabia smelt so sweet. They ate them with their fingers. | But Beatrice suddenly thought she would like a meringue. | Lena smiled bravely. | The stony silence that followed this speech was only broken by the entrance of the butler. |

"May I have some bread?" she asked.

The grossest indecency would not have fallen on the ears of those three women with such a shock. Not one of them had eaten bread, for ten years. Even Beatrice, greedy as she was, drew the line there. Frank, the good hostess, recovered herself first.

"Of course, darling," she said and turning to the butler asked him to bring some.

"And some butter," said Lena in that pleasant easy way of hers.

There was a moment's embarrassed silence.

"I don't know if there's any in the house," said Frank, "but I'll inquire. There may be some in the kitchen."

"I adore bread and butter, don't you (я обожаю хлеб с маслом, а вы: «/разве/ вы не /обожаете/»)?" said Lena turning to Beatrice (сказала Лина, поворачиваясь к Беатрис).

Beatrice gave a sickly smile and an evasive reply (Беатрис дала = выдавилаизсебя слабую улыбку и какой-то уклончивый ответ; sickly — болезненный, хилый; тошнотворный;слащавый). The butler brought a long crisp roll of French bread (дворецкий принес длинный хрустящий валик французского батона: «хлеба»; roll — булочка, рулет; свиток, рулон, валик, цилиндр, что-либоцилиндрическойформы). Lena slit it in two (Лина разрезала его в длину пополам: «надвое»; to slit — делатьдлинныйузкийразрез; разрезатьвдлину) and plastered it with the butter which was miraculously produced (и намазала его маслом, которое было изумительного качества: «чудесно изготовлено»). A grilled sole was served (была подана жареная рыба; sole — морскойязык; камбала;палтус).

 

"We eat very simply here (мы здесь едим очень просто)," said Frank. "I hope you won't mind (я надеюсь, ты не будешь против)."

"Oh, no, I like my food very plain (о, нет, мне нравится есть очень простую пищу: «мне нравится моя еда очень простой»)," said Lena as she took some butter and spread it over her fish (сказала Лина, взяв немного масла и намазывая его на свою рыбу: «в то время как она взяла немного масла и намазала его»). "As long as I can have bread and butter (пока я могу есть: «иметь» хлеб и масло) and potatoes and cream I'm quite happy (и картофель, и сливки, я вполне счастлива)."

The three friends exchanged a glance (трое подруг обменялись быстрыми взглядами). Frank's great sallow face sagged a little (большое желтоватое лицо Фрэнк немного обвисло; sallow — желтоватый, болезненный, землистый/оцветелица/) and she looked with distaste at the dry, insipid sole on her plate (и она с отвращением посмотрела на сухую, безвкусную/пресную рыбу на своей тарелке; dry — сухой;то, чтоподаютилиедятбезмасла, джемаит.п.). Beatrice came to the rescue (Беатрис пришла на помощь)

"It's such a bore (это такая тоска; bore — скука; кто-тоиличто-тонадоедливое, скучное), we can't get cream here (мы не можем достать здесь сливок)," she said. "It's one of the things one has to do without on the Riviera (это одна из тех вещей, без /которых/ приходится обходиться на Ривьере; one— один; также употребляется в неопределенно-личных предложениях;todowithout— обходиться без)."

"What a pity (какая жалость)," said Lena.

The rest of the luncheon consisted of lamb cutlets (остаток обеда состоял из отбивных котлет /из мяса/ молодого барашка; luncheon — второйзавтрак, обед/обычнов12-14часов/; lamb — ягненок), with the fat carefully removed (с тщательно удаленным жиром) so that Beatrice should not be led astray (так, чтобы не смутить Беатрис; to lead astray — сбитьспути, ввестивзаблуждение), and spinach boiled in water (и шпината, отваренного в воде), with stewed pears to end up with (с тушеными грушами на десерт: «чтобы закончить /ими/»; with — с; указываетнапредметдействияилиорудие, спомощьюкоторогосовершаетсядействие, переводитсянарусскийязыктворительнымпадежом). Lena tasted her pears and gave the butler a look of inquiry (Лина попробовала свои груши и дала = бросила на дворецкого вопросительный взгляд; inquiry— вопрос; запрос; наведение справок). That resourceful man understood her at once (этот находчивый человек понял ее сразу же) and though powdered sugar had never been served at that table before (и хотя порошкообразный сахар = сахарная пудра никогда прежде /не/ подавалась на этот стол) handed her without a moment's hesitation a bowl of it (без малейшего колебания подал ей миску сахарной пудры: «ее»). She helped herself liberally (/и/ она щедро воспользовалась ею; tohelponeself— угощаться, брать /самому/). The other three pretended not to notice (остальные трое сделали вид, /что ничего/ не заметили). Coffee was served (был подан кофе) and Lena took three lumps of sugar in hers (и Лина взяла = положила в свой три кусочка сахара).

"You have a very sweet tooth (/а/ ты большая сладкоежка: «ты имеешь очень сладкий зуб»)," said Arrow in a tone which she struggled to keep friendly (сказала Эрроу тоном, который она изо всех сил старалась сохранить дружелюбным; tostruggle— бороться; стараться изо всех сил).

"We think saccharine so much more sweetening (мы считаем, /что/ сахарин намного слаще; tosweeten— подслащивать, делать/ся/ сладким)," said Frank, as she put a tiny tablet of it into her coffee (сказала Фрэнк, пока клала крошечную таблетку сахарина: «его» в свой кофе).

"Disgusting stuff (отвратительная вещь; stuff— материал, вещество, вещь)," said Lena.

Beatrice's mouth drooped at the corners (уголки рта Беатрис поникли: «рот Беатрис опустился на углах»), and she gave the lump sugar a yearning look (и она дала = бросила на кусковой сахар тоскующий взгляд).

"Beatrice," boomed Frank sternly (Беатрис, пробасила Фрэнк сурово; toboom— греметь; рокотать; говорить низким голосом, басом).

Beatrice stifled a sigh, and reached for the saccharine (Беатрис подавила вздох и потянулась за сахарином)
