не было). It must have gone around another street (она, должно быть, свернула на другую улицу). It went in pairs, on bicycles (разъезжает, по двое, на велосипедах), and moved absolutely silently on the pavements (и скользит: «двигается» по мостовой абсолютно неслышно).

"Wouldn't you like some more broth?" the woman asked him now.
"No, thank you very much. It is awfully good."
"Try just a little."
"I would like a whiskey-soda."
"It's not good for you."
"No. It's bad for me. Cole Porter wrote the words and the music. This knowledge that you're going mad for me."

The bawling and the steady noise (мычание и мерный топот: «шум») and slow moving mass raising a dust as you brought them down in the fall (и медленно двигающаяся масса поднимает пыль, когда осенью гонишь их вниз = с гор; to bring — приносить; приводить). And behind the mountains, the clear sharpness of the peak in the evening light (а за горами, в вечернем свете, ясная четкость /горного/ пика; sharp — острый; резкий, четкий) and, riding down along the trail in the moonlight, bright across the valley (едешь вниз по тропинке при свете луны, заливающей всю долину: «в свете луны, ярко /разливающемся/ по долине»).
