She had some friends at the Mission, and she packed up and went to them."

"You should have let her go," I said.

"I went after her," George said. "She insisted on being married, so I married

her."

 

"That's not a proper secret, then («это не правильный»=это вообще не секрет,

тогда; proper — правильный, настоящий)," I said. "The news of a mixed

marriage soon gets about (новость о смешанном браке быстро становится

известной: «распространяется»; news /ед.число/ — новость; marriage —

брак; to mix — смешивать)."

"I took care of that (я позаботился об этом; to take care)," George said. "Crazy

as I was (хотя я и был сумасшедшим; crazy — безумный), I took her to the

Congo (я отвез ее в Конго) and married her there (и женился на ней там). She

promised to keep quiet about it (она обещала молчать об этом; to promise —

обещать; to keep — держать; quiet — тихий, спокойный)."

"Well, you can't clear off (ну, ты не можешь уехать; to clear — чистить) and

leave her now (и оставить ее сейчас; to leave — оставлять, покидать; now —

сейчас), surely (конечно)," I said.

"That's not a proper secret, then," I said. "The news of a mixed marriage

soon gets about."

"I took care of that," George said. "Crazy as I was, I took her to the Congo

and married her there. She promised to keep quiet about it."

"Well, you can't clear off and leave her now, surely," I said.

 

"I'm going to get out of this place (я собираюсь убраться отсюда: «из этого

места»; to be going to do smth). I can't stand the woman (я не могу выносить

эту женщину) and I can't stand the country (и я не могу выносить эту страну).

I didn't realize (я не понимал; to realize — понимать, осознавать) what it would

be like (во что это выльется: «на что это будет похоже»). Two years of the

country (два года в стране: «страны») and three months of my wife (и три

месяца с моей женой: «моей жены») has been enough (оказалось

достаточно)."

"Will you get a divorce (ты разведешься: «ты получишь развод»; divorce —

развод, to get a divorce = to divorce)?"

"No, Matilda's Catholic (нет, Матильда католичка). She won't divorce (она не

даст мне развод)."

George was fairly getting through the highballs (Джордж уже почти набрался:

«покончил с коктейлями»; to get through — доходить, доставлять), and I

wasn't far behind him (и я тоже: «я была не далеко за ним»).

the country. I didn't realize what it would be like. Two years of the country

and three months of my wife has been enough."

"Will you get a divorce?"

"No, Matilda's Catholic. She won't divorce."

His brown eyes (его карие глаза) floated shiny and liquid (сверкнули слезами:

«наполнились блестящими и жидкими»; to float — плавать на поверхности,

затоплять; to shine — блестеть; liquid — жидкий) as he told me (когда он

сказал мне) how he had written (как написал; to write-wrote-written) to tell his

uncle of his plight (чтобы сообщить: «сказать» своему: «его» дяде о своем

незавидном положении), "Except, of course (за исключением, конечно), I didn't

say we were married (я не сказал, что мы поженились), that would have been too

Colonial (он непоколебимый старый: «пристрастный закоренелый» колонист

с предрассудками; prejudice — предрассудок, предубеждение; hard —

твердый, стойкий; to harden — затвердевать). I only said (я только сказал)

I'd had a child by a coloured woman (что у меня будет ребенок от цветной

женщины) and was expecting another (и скоро она опять родит: «и ожидается

другой»), and he perfectly understood (и он все понял; perfectly — совершенно,

полностью; to understand — понимать).
