her parents' presence. One of the nurses had stood as godmother.

The nurses dispersed in a flurry as Raymond approached. He looked hard

At the baby. It looked back with its black button eyes. He saw the name-tab

round its neck. "Dawn Mary Parker."

He got hold of a nurse in the corridor. "Look here, you just take that name

Parker off that child's neck. The name's not Parker, it isn't my child."

 

The nurse said (няня ответила), "Get away (убирайтесь), we're busy (мы

заняты)."

"There's just a chance (есть малейшая возможность: «шанс»), " said the

doctor to Raymond (сказал доктор Раймонду), "that if there's ever been black

blood in your family or your wife's (если когда-либо была черная кровь в

вашей семье или /в семье/ вашей жены), it's coming out now (она проявляется

сейчас; to come out — появляться, обнаруживаться). It's a very long chance

(/это/ очень небольшой: «длинный» шанс). I've never known it happen in my

experience (в моей практике такого не случалось: «я никогда не знал, что это

случается по своему опыту»), but I've heard of cases (но я слышал о

/подобных/ случаях), I could read them up (я могу поднять литературу; to read

up — специально изучать, читать, подбирать литературу)."

"There's nothing like that in my family (ничего подобного /не было/ в моей

семье)," said Raymond. He thought of Lou (он подумал о Лу), the obscure

Liverpool antecedents (/ее/ неизвестных ливерпульских предках; obscure —

неясный, смутный, малоизвестный). The parents had died before he had met

Lou (/ее/ родители умерли до того, как он встретил Лу; to die — умирать,

пропадать).

"It could be several generations back (это могло быть несколько поколений

назад; generation — поколение, род, потомство)," said the doctor.

Raymond went home (Раймонд отправился домой), avoiding the neighbours

(избегая соседей; to avoid — избегать, сторониться) who would stop him to

inquire after Lou (которые останавливали его, чтобы справиться о Лу). He

rather regretted (он уже жалел; to regret — сожалеть, раскаиваться) smashing

up the cot (что разломал кроватку; to smash — разбить вдребезги, ломать) in

his first fury (в первом припадке ярости). That was something low coming out in

him (нечто низменное: «подлое» исходило из него). But again (но снова),

when he thought of (когда он думал о) the tiny black hands of the baby

(крошечных черных ручках ребенка) with their pink fingernails (с розовыми

ноготками; finger (палец) + nail (ноготь)) he did not regret smashing the cot (он

не жалел о том, что разнес кроватку).
