He specialized in men about town (он играл преимущественно:

«специализировался на» богатых повес; a man about town — светский

человек, жуир), gentlemanly gamblers (благородных игроков), guardsmen

(гвардейцев) and young scamps with a good side to them (и

привлекательных/добродушных молодых бездельников: «со своей хорошей

стороной»).

Managers liked him (импресарио любили его). He worked hard (он упорно

работал) and was amenable to direction (и подчинялся /их/ указаниям; amenable

— послушный, сговорчивый). So long as he could get work (пока он мог

получить работу) he didn't mind much (он не очень-то обращал внимание)

thought he was worth (он требовал зарплату, которую, как он думал,

but if he couldn't get it (но если он не мог ее получить) was prepared to take less

(он был готов согласиться на меньшее) rather than be idle (чем остаться без

работы; idle — незанятый, безработный, свободный).

During the winter that followed the end of the war (зимой: «во время зимы»,

которая последовала после окончания войны) there was an epidemic of

influenza (случилась эпидемия гриппа). His father and mother died (его

родители: «отец и мать» умерли). He inherited nearly four thousand pounds (он

унаследовал почти четыре тысячи фунтов), and this with his own savings (и эти

/деньги/, вместе его собственными накоплениями) and Julia's (и

/накоплениями/ Джулии) brought up their joint capital to seven thousand

(увеличили их совместный капитал до семи тысяч; to bring up — зд.

поднимать, доводить до определенного уровня).
