I started screaming when I got home, and was given a sedative. By evening everyone knew that Miss Simmonds had put the wrong drops in her eyes.

"Will she go blind in that eye, too (она ослепнет и на этот глаз тоже)?" people said (спрашивали люди).

"The doctor says there's hope (врач говорит, что есть надежда)."

"There will be an inquiry (будет расследование)."

"She was going blind in that eye in any case (она все равно слепла и на этот глаз; in any case — в любом случае, при любых обстоятельствах)," they said (говорили /люди/).

"Ah, but the pain (о, но боль)..."

"Whose mistake, hers or his (чья ошибка, ее или его)?"

"Joan was there at the time (Джоан была там, в то самое время). Joan heard the screams (Джоан слышала крики). We had to give her a sedative to calm (мы даже дали ей: «мы вынуждены были дать ей» седативное, чтобы успокоить; to calm — успокаивать, утихомиривать) —

— calm her down (успокоить ее)."

"But who made the mistake (но кто же совершил ошибку)?"

"She usually makes up the eye-drops herself (она обычно сама делает глазные капли). She's got a dispenser's (у нее есть свидетельство —

— dispenser's certificate (свидетельство фармацевта), you know (ну вы знаете)."
"Her name was on the bottle (ее имя было на бутылочке). Joan says (Джоан /так/ говорит),"

"But who made the mistake?" "She usually makes up the eye-drops herself She's got a dispenser's —

— dispenser's certificate, you know."

"Her name was on the bottle. Joan says."

 

"Who wrote the name on the bottle (кто написал имя на бутылочке)? That's the question (в этом то и вопрос). They'll find out from the handwriting (они определят: «обнаружат» по почерку). If it was Mr. Simmonds he'll be disqualified (если это был /почерк/ господина Симмондса, его дисквалифицируют; to disqualify — лишать права).''

"She always wrote the names on the bottles (она всегда писала имена на бутылочках). She'll be put off the dispensers' roll (ее вычеркнут из списка фармацевтов /т.е. лишат практики/; to put off — отделять, откладывать, отбрасывать), poor thing (бедняжка)."

"They'll lose their licence (их лишат: «они потеряют» патент на врачебную практику)."

"I got eye-drops from them myself only three weeks ago (я получила глазные капли у них сама всего: «только» три недели назад). If I'd have known what I know now (если бы тогда я знала то, что я знала сейчас), I'd never have (я бы никогда не) —"

"The doctor says they can't find the bottle (доктор говорит, что они не могут найти бутылочку), it's got lost (она потерялась)."

"I got eye-drops from them myself only three weeks ago. If I'd have known what I know now, I'd never have —"

"No, the sergeant says definitely (нет, сержант полиции определенно говорит) they've got the bottle (что они нашли бутылочку: «что у них есть бутылочка»). The handwriting is hers (почерк ее). She must have made up the drops herself (она могла сделать капли сама), poor thing (бедняжка)."

"Deadly nightshade (красавка: «смертельная ночная тень»), same thing (то же самое)."

"Stuff called atropine (штука под названием атропин). Belladonna (белладонна). Deadly nightshade (красавка)."

"It should have been stuff called eserine (а должна была быть штука под названием эзерин /физостигмин/). That's what she usually had (это то, что она обычно использовала), the doctor says (так доктор говорит)."

"Dr. Gray says?"

"Yes, Dr. Gray."

"Dr. Gray says if you switch from eserine to atropine (доктор Грей говорит, что если переходишь с эзерина на атропин; to switch — ударять, менять) —

It was put down to an accident (случай сочли: «приписали к» несчастным; accident — несчастный случай, авария, случайность). There was a strong hope that Miss Simmonds' one eye would survive (оставалась сильная надежда на то, что единственный глаз мисс Симмондс удастся сохранить; to survive — пережить, остаться в живых, сохраняться). It was she who had made up the prescription (именно она приготовила лекарство согласно рецепту; to make up a prescription — изготовить лекарство по рецепту, prescription — предписание, рецепт). She refused to discuss it (она отказывалась обсуждать это).

It was put down to an accident. There was a strong hope that Miss Simmonds' one eye would sur­vive. It was she who had made up the prescription. She refused to discuss it.

 

I said, "The bottle may have been tampered with (кто-то мог подделать /надпись/ на бутылочке; to tamper — тайно изменять, подделывать, искажать), have you thought of that (вы думали об этом)?"

"Joan's been reading books (Джоан начиталась книжек)."

The last week of my holidays (во время последней недели моих каникул) old Mrs. Simmonds died above the shop (старая миссис Симмондс умерла /в комнатке/ над магазином; to die — умирать, пропадать, исчезать) and left all her fortune to her daughter (и оставила все свое состояние дочери). At the same time (в тоже самое время) I got tonsillitis (я заболела тонзиллитом) and could not return to school (и не смогла вернуться в школу).

I was attended by our woman doctor (меня лечила врач-женщина; to attend — посещать; уделять внимание, заботиться), the widow of the town's former doctor (вдова предыдущего городского доктора) who had quite recently died (который совсем недавно умер). This was the first time I had seen Dr. Gray (это был первый раз, когда я увидела доктора Грей), although I had known the other Dr. Gray (хотя, я, конечно, знала другого доктора Грей), her husband (ее мужа), whom I missed (по которому я скучала). The new Dr. Gray was a sharp-faced athletic woman (новая доктор Грей была мускулистая женщина с заостренным лицом). She was said to be young (говорили, что она молодая). She came to visit me every day for a week (она приходила и наблюдала меня каждый день целую неделю). After consideration (после размышлений) I decided she was normal (я решила, что она была нормальной) and in the right (и, в общем, правильная), though dull (хотя и скучная).

Читайте в этой же книге: The second week, Gwen went off on various expeditions of her own and left them together. | Trudy had not seen Windermere, but she said, yes it did, and gazed at him with shining twenty-two-year-old eyes. | Often Trudy would question Gwen about Richard and his mother. | But still, by the end of October, Richard had not asked her to meet his mother. | Richard left at half past six, very much more cheerful in his going than he had been in his coming. | Trudy bore these knives and forks into the dining-room with a sense of having been got rid of with a view to being talked about. | During the week Trudy saw Richard only once, for a quick drink. | I put on my dark glasses to shield my eyes from the sun and conceal my recognition from her eyes. | I smiled and put my hand in my blazer pocket. | Dorothy was beside us in no time. She peered one-eyed at the glasses, then at me. |
