)."
"Young or old (молодая или старая)?"
"Oh, young, very young (о, молодая, очень молодая). Not a good actress in my opinion (не хорошая актриса, по моему мнению = как актриса ничего из себя не представляет)."
Martins remembered the girl by the grave (Мартинс вспомнил девушку у могилы) with her hands over her face (закрывшую лицо руками). He said, "I'd like to meet any friend of Harry's (я бы хотел познакомиться с любым другом Гарри)."
"She'll probably be at your lecture (она, возможно, будет на вашей лекции)."
"Austrian (австрийка)?"'
"She claims to be Austrian (она заявляет, что она австрийка), but I suspect she's Hungarian (но я подозреваю, что она венгерка). She works at the Josefstadt (она работает в Йозефштадте). I wouldn't be surprised if Lime had not helped her with her papers (я бы не был удивлен, если бы Лайм не помог ей с ее документами = думаю, что помог). She calls herself Schmidt (она называет себя Шмидт). Anna Schmidt (Анна Шмидт). You can't imagine a young English actress (вы не можете вообразить молодую английскую актрису) calling herself Smith (называющую себя Смит), can you (правда)? And a pretty one, too (и хорошенькая к тому же). It always struck me as a bit too anonymous to be true (это /имя/ всегда поражало меня, как немного слишком анонимное, чтобы быть настоящим; to strike — бить; поражать)."

"Have you ever read a book called The Lone Rider to Santa Fé?"
"No, don't think so."
Martins said, "This lone rider had his best friend shot by the sheriff of a town called Lost Claim Gulch. The story is how he hunted that sheriff down—quite legally—until his revenge was completed."
"I never imagined you reading Westerns, Mr. Dexter," Crabbin said, and it needed all Martins' resolution to stop Rollo saying: "But I write them."
"Well, I'm gunning just the same way for Colonel Callaghan."
"Never heard of him."
"Heard of Harry Lime?"
"Yes," Crabbin said cautiously, "but I didn't really know him."
"I did. He was my best friend."
"I shouldn't have thought he was a very—literary character."
"None of my friends are."
Crabbin blinked nervously behind the horn-rims. He said with an air of appeasement, "He was interested in the theatre though. A friend of his—an actress, you know—is learning English at the Institute. He called once or twice to fetch her."
