It was a little more difficult when Charles, with his fine sensitiveness, saw that
she was no longer in love with Michael. Then Julia had to exercise a great deal
of tact. It was not that she had any scruples about being his mistress; if he had
been an actor who loved her so much and had loved her so long she would not
have minded popping into bed with him out of sheer good nature; but she just
did not fancy him. She was very fond of him, but he was so elegant, so well-
bred, so cultured, she could not think of him as a lover. It would be like going
to bed with an objet d'art.
And his love of art (и его любовь к искусству) filled her with a faint derision

посмеяться /над ним/»; derision — высмеивание, осмеяние); after all she was a
creator (в конце-то концов, она была творцом), when all was said and done
(когда, в конечном счете: «когда все было сказано и сделано») he was only the
public (он был всего лишь публикой). He wished her to elope with him (он
хотел, чтобы она сбежала с ним). They would buy a villa at Sorrento on the bay
of Naples (они купили бы виллу в Сорренто, в бухте Неаполя), with a large
garden (с большим садом), and they would have a schooner (у них будет шхуна)
so that they could spend long days (и они смогут проводить долгие дни) on the
beautiful wine-coloured sea (в прекрасном море темно-красного цвета; wine —
вино). Love and beauty and art (/только/ любовь, красота и искусство); the
world well lost (и мир совершенно забыт: «потерян»).
"The damned fool (чертов дурак)," she thought (думала она). "As if I'd give up
my career (как будто я брошу свою карьеру) to bury myself in some hole in Italy
(чтобы похоронить себя в какой-то дыре в Италии)!"

He told her that she was the only woman (он отвечал ей, что она была
единственной женщиной) he ' had ever loved (/которую/ он когда либо любил)
and that he must go on loving her till the end (и что он будет продолжать
любить ее до самого конца).
"It seems so sad (это так грустно)," said Julia.
All the same (в любом случае) she kept her eyes open (она была начеку: «она
держала глаза открытыми»), and if she noticed (и если она замечала) that any
woman had predatory intentions on Charles (что у какой-нибудь женщины были
хищные намерения в отношении Чарльза) she took care to queer her pitch (она
делала все, чтобы подложить ей свинью; to queer smb.'s pitch — рушить чьи-
либо планы, разбивать надежды). She did not hesitate (она не мешкала) if the
danger seemed to warrant it (если опасность, казалось, подтверждалась; to
warrant — служить оправданием, выражать уверенность, ручаться) to show
herself extremely jealous (показывать свою чрезмерную ревность). It had been
long agreed (они давно договорились: «об этом уже давно было договорено»),
with all the delicacy (со всей возможной деликатностью) that might be expected
from his good breeding (которую только можно было ожидать при его
хорошем воспитании) and Julia's good heart (и добром сердце Джулии), in no
definite words (не в конкретных словах, конечно), but with guarded hints (но в
сдержанных намеках) and remote allusiveness (и слабых: «удаленных»
иносказаниях), that if anything happened to Michael (что если что-нибудь
случиться с Майклом), Lady Charles should somehow or other be disposed of (то
от леди Чарльз /они/ избавятся тем или другим образом; somehow or other —
так или иначе) and they would then marry (и они затем поженятся). But
Michael had perfect health (но у Майкла было отменное здоровье).
