пристрастен) where I'm concerned (когда дело касается меня)."

"Unless this young man is a much bigger fool than I think him (если только этот

молодой человек не гораздо больший дурак, чем я о нем думаю) he must

know (он должен знать) that there's nothing in the way of acting (что нет ничего

деятельности) that you can't do (что неподвластно тебе: «что ты не можешь

сделать»)."

"Oh, that's only an idea (о, это всего лишь идея) that people have got (которая

пришла людям в голову: «которую люди имеют») because I take care never to

do anything but what I can do (потому что я всегда осторожна, и не делаю

ничего, кроме того, что я могу сделать; to care — беспокоиться,

заботиться)."

Presently Michael looked at his watch (в этот самый момент Майкл взглянул на

часы).

"I think when you've finished your coffee, young man (я думаю, что когда вы

допьете: «закончите» свой кофе, молодой человек), we ought to be going (мы

должны будем идти)."

The boy gulped down what was left in his cup (юноша большим глотком допил

поднялась из-за стола; to rise (rose; risen) — вставать, подниматься).
