3. Translate the sentences into Russian:

1. In her room she dressed herself for going to Lillian’s house, thinking meanwhile of Travis de Coppet and of riding home from the Davidsons” dance last night. 2. Travis and Howard were already there—not sitting down, but still in their overcoats, like symbols of action, hurrying the girls breathlessly into the future. 3. Annoyed, he made cynical nods with his head and lay back in the corner of tie car. 4. Anthony looked remotely at the young people across the room, recognizing the little Perry girl and other young females whom he seemed to have encountered frequently in the street of late. 5. As they got in the car he tried to dominate the situation with a masculine stare, but her eyes, shining as if with fever, melted down his bogus austerity in a whittled second. 6. It is only when youth is gone and experience has given us a sort of cheap courage that most of us realize how simple such things are.

Give the character sketches of Josephine and Anthony.

5. Read and translate this extract into Russian:

Dressed, she went down the stairs and through a softly opening side door, out into the street. It was October and a harsh breeze blew her along under trees without leaves, past houses with cold corners, past caves of the wind that were the mouths of residential streets. From that time until April, Chicago is an indoor city, where entering by a door is like going into another world, for the cold of the lake is unfriendly and not like real northern cold — it serves only to accentuate the things that go on inside. There is no music outdoors, or love-making, and even in prosperous times the wealth that rolls by in limousines is less glamorous than embittering to those on the sidewalk. But in the houses there is a deep, warm quiet, or else an excited, singing noise, as if those within were inventing things like new dances. That is part of what people mean when they say they love Chicago.

6. Discuss the story according the questions:

1. How can you characterize Josephine, her family from the very beginning? 2. How is Travis described in the story? 3. What do you get to know about Anthony Harker? 4. Why did Anthony begin meeting with Josephine? Was he really interested in her?

5. What way were their relations developing? 6. Why did Anthony decide to put an end of their meetings? 7. Is there any difference in Antony’s feelings to Josephine before and after their last meeting? 8. What was Josephine’s reaction on Anthony’s letter? 9. What was the end of the story?
