Intrigued her.

She would fling herself into Gwen's room. "Gwen, what d'you think? There

he was waiting outside the office and he drove me home, and he's calling for

me at seven, and next week-end..."

Gwen frequently replied, "You are out of breath. Have you got heart

trouble?" — for Gwen's room was only on the first floor. And Trudy was

Furious with Gwen on these occasions for seeming not to understand that the

Breathlessness was all part of her only being twenty-two, and excited by the

Boyfriend.

 

"I think Richard's so exciting (я думаю, Ричард такой восхитительный),"

Trudy said (сказала Труди). "It's difficult to believe (трудно поверить) I've only

known him a month (что я знаю его всего лишь месяц)."

"Has he invited you home to meet his mother (он пригласил тебя домой,

чтобы познакомить со своей матерью; to invite — приглашать, home —

дом)?" Gwen inquired (спросила Гвен; to inquire — узнавать).

"No — not yet (нет — нет еще). Oh, do you think he will (о, ты думаешь, он

/пригласит/; will — зд. вспомогательный глагол, будущее время, стоит

вместо смыслового глагола invite)?"

"Yes. I think so (да, я думаю так). One day I'm sure he will (однажды:

«одним днем» я уверена, что он /пригласит/; sure — уверенный)."

"Oh, do you mean it (о, ты правда так думаешь: «ты серьезно»; to mean —

подразумевать, иметь в виду, думать)?" Trudy flung her arms girlishly round

Gwen's impassive neck (Труди по-девичьи обняла Гвен за неподвижную шею:

«Труди набросила свои руки, как маленькая девочка, вокруг бесчувственной

шеи Гвен»; girlishly — девичий, изнеженный, похожий на девочку; impassive

— безучастный, безразличный).

"When is your father coming up (когда твой отец приезжает; to come up —

подходить, приходить, приезжать в столицу)?" Gwen said.

"Not for ages (не скоро; for ages — целая вечность, age — возраст, долгий

срок), if at all (если вообще /приедет/). He can't leave Leicester just now (он не

может оставить Лестер прямо сейчас; to leave — оставлять, покидать), and

he hates London (и он ненавидит Лондон)."

"You must get him to come (ты должна заставить его приехать; to get smb. to

do smth. — заставлять, убеждать, уговаривать) and ask Richard what his

intentions are (и спросить у Ричарда о его намерениях: «каковы его

намерения»; intention — намерение, умысел). A young girl like you needs

protection (такая молодая девушка, как ты, нуждается в защите; protection —

защита, охрана, покровительство)."
