He thought the part was worth.

 

When he directed a play (когда он режиссировал постановку) he put down on

the expense account (он относил на расход; to put it on the expense account —

отнести расход за счет фирмы) the fee that a director of the second rank would

have received (гонорар, который получил бы второсортный режиссер). They

shared the expenses of the house (они совместно оплачивали затраты на дом; to

share the expenses — делить расходы, принять участие в расходах) and the

cost of Roger's education (и стоимость обучения: «образования» Роджера).

Roger had been entered for Eton (Роджер был записан в Итон; to enter —

входить, вступать, записывать куда-либо) within a week of his birth (в

течение недели с момента его рождения). It was impossible to deny

(невозможно было отрицать /тот факт/) that Michael was scrupulously fair and

honest (что Майкл бы безупречно справедливым и честным). When Julia

realized how much richer she was than he (когда Джулия поняла, насколько

богаче она была, чем он) she wanted to pay all these expenses herself (она

захотела оплачивать все расходы сама).

зарабатываешь больше, чем я) because you're worth more (потому, что ты

стоишь большего). I put you down for a good salary (я плачу тебе: «положил

тебе» хорошую зарплату) because you draw it (потому, что ты ее

зарабатываешь; to draw — тащить, волочить, зд. получать зарплату,

проценты)."
