understand the quality of these occasions: "Quite nice chaps, them darkies,

when you get to know them."

 

"You mean Jamaicans (ты имеешь в виду жители Ямайки)," said Lou. "Why

shouldn’t they be nice (почему им не быть: «они не должны быть» милыми)?

They're no different from anyone else (они ничем не отличаются от любого

другого)."

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean (да, да, это как раз то, что я имею в виду)," said

Tina.

"We're all equal (мы все равны)," stated Lou (заявила Лу; to state —

излагать, констатировать). "Don't forget there are black Bishops (не забывай,

что есть и чернокожие епископы)."

"Jesus (Иисус), I never said we were the equal of a Bishop (я никогда не

говорила, что мы ровня епископу)," Tina said, very bewildered (сказала Тина,

совершенно сбитая с толку; bewildered — смущенный, озадаченный).

"Well, don't call them darkies (ну, не называй их черными)."

Sometimes (иногда), on summer Sunday afternoons (летними воскресными

днями) Raymond and Lou took their friends for a run in their car (Раймонд и Лу

брали своих друзей на автомобильную прогулку: «прогулку в автомобиле»),

ending up at a riverside road-house (которая заканчивалась в придорожной

гостинице на берегу реки; riverside — прибрежная полоса, берег реки). The

first time they turned up with Oxford and Henry (в первое время, когда они

появлялись /в компании/ с Оксфордом и Генри; to turn up — внезапно

появиться, приехать) they felt defiant (они чувствовали себя бунтарями;

defiant — вызывающий, открыто не повинующийся); but there were no

objections (но они не встречали: «там не было» возражений), there was no

trouble at all (это оказалось совершенно не скандально: «было без проблем»).

Soon the dark pair ceased to be a novelty (вскоре темнокожая пара перестала

быть новизной). Oxford St. John took up with a pretty red-haired book-keeper

(Оксфорд Сент-Джон закрутил роман: «встречался» с хорошенькой

рыжеволосой бухгалтершей), and Henry Pierce (и Генри Пирс), missing his

companion (ощущая отсутствие своего товарища; to miss — промахнуться,

упустить, скучать), spent more of his time at the Parkers' flat (проводил

больше времени в квартире Паркеров). Lou and Raymond had planned (Лу и

Раймонд запланировали) to spend their two weeks' summer holiday (провести

свой двухнедельный летний отпуск) in London. "Poor Henry (бедный Генри),"

said Lou. "He'll miss us (он будет скучать /без нас/)."
