материалы готовы /и/ у него под рукой)," he said (сказал он).
With the same laudable object (по той же самой похвальной причине:
«намерению») he had had all their press cuttings (он хранил: «имел» все
вырезки из газет о них) from the very beginning (с самого начала) pasted in a
series of large books (вклеенными в ряд: «серию» больших альбомов: «книг»).
There were photographs of Julia (там были фотографии Джулии) when she was
a child (в детстве = когда она была ребенком), and photographs of her as a
young girl (фотографии ее как молодой девушки), photographs of her in her first
parts (ее фотографии в ее первых ролях), photographs of her as a young married
woman (ее фотографии как молодой замужней женщины), with Michael (с
Майклом), and then with Roger, her son, as a baby (и затем с Роджером, ее
сыном, /когда он был/ ребенком). There was one photograph of the three of them
(была и одна фотография их троих, /на ней/), Michael very manly and
incredibly handsome (Майкл очень мужественный и невероятно красивый;
handsome — красивый /о мужчинах/, статный), herself all tenderness looking
down at Roger (она сама, сама нежность, смотрящая /вниз/ на Роджера; tender
— нежный, мягкий, ласковый, любящий) with maternal feeling (с материнским
чувством; to feel — трогать, чувствовать, ощущать), and Roger a little boy
with a curly head (и Роджер, маленький мальчик с кудрявой головкой), which
had been an enormous success (которая имела огромный успех).

All the illustrated papers (все иллюстрированные издания; paper — бумага,
газета, журнал) had given it a full page (разместили ее: «дали ей» на целой
странице) and they had used it on the programmes (и они /сами/ разместили ее:
«использовали ее» на программках). Reduced to picture-postcard size
(уменьшенная до размеров почтовой открытки; to reduce — снижать,
сбавлять, уменьшать, сокращать) it had sold in the provinces for years (она
годами продавалась в провинции; to sell (sold) — продавать, торговать). It
was such a bore (так было обидно: «скучно»; bore — тоска, скука, зануда) that
Roger when he got to Eton (что Роджер, когда он поступил в Итон) refused to
be photographed with her any more (отказался фотографироваться с ней
/больше/; to refuse — отказывать, отвергать). It seemed so funny of him
(казалось смешным/странным, что он) not to want to be in the papers (не хочет
появляться в прессе: «быть в газетах»).
