Yet a mild reflected brightness came from the snow, a milky gleam whose light became both landscape and human beings, even though these latter did show red noses under their white or gaily-coloured woollen caps.
Но от снега исходил отраженный мягкий блеск, какое-то молочное свеченье, придававшее особую красоту природе и людским лицам, хотя под белыми и цветными шапками носы и были красны от холода.

He turned the car, drove slowly back up the bumping track, and rejoined the road they'd come out on; they went past the cheese-coloured cottage without slowing down, then picked up the main road to London.
Реджи развернулся и медленно проехал к ухабистой дорожке, которая вывела на проселок; не притормаживая, миновал домик сырного цвета, а затем выехал на лондонское шоссе.
