After luncheon (после ланча) she was persuaded to recite a tirade from Phиdre (ее

уговорили продекламировать тираду /законченный стихотворный отрывок/

из «Федры») as it was done at the Comedie Franзaise (как это было бы сделано

в «Комеди Франсез») and the same tirade (и тот же самый отрывок), as an

English student, at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art would deliver it (как

английский студент Королевской академии театрального искусства произнес

бы его). She made the company laugh very much (она здорово рассмешила

собравшихся: «заставила компанию много смеяться») and came away from the

party (и ушла с приема) flushed with success (опьяненная успехом; to flush —

выходить из берегов, затоплять, переливаться через край). It was a fine

bright day (день был прекрасный и ясный) and she made up her mind (и она

решила) to walk from Hill Street to Stanhope Place (пройтись пешком от Хилл-

стрит до Стэнхоуп-плейс). A good many people recognized her (многие:

«большое количество людей» узнавали ее) as she threaded her way through the

crowd in Oxford Street (пока она пробиралась сквозь толпу на Оксфорд-стрит;

to thread one's way — прокладывать путь), and though she looked straight

 

 

 

 

 

ahead of her (и хотя она смотрела строго перед собой) she was conscious of

their glances (она чувствовала их взгляды; to be conscious of — осознавать,

понимать).

"What a hell of a nuisance it is (как это чертовски неприятно; nuisance —

досада, неприятность, помеха) that one can't go anywhere (что нельзя никуда

пойти) without people staring at one (чтобы люди /на тебя/ не пялились)."
