In the corner I spot Moira Channing from the Daily Herald, and she gives me a half-flicker of recognition – but I'm certainly not going to talk to her.
В углу замечаю Мойру Чаннинг из «Дейли геральд», и она каким-то полужестом показывает, что узнала меня, но к ней я не пойду.

He went back to the place he had been after his knee surgery, coming up out of the druggie sleep of painkillers to see his then-five-year-old son sitting near him, waiting for his eyes to flicker open so he could say, “Peek-a-boo, Daddy.”
Он вдруг перенесся в ту пору, когда отходил от наркоза после операции на колене и увидел у своей постели пятилетнего сынишку, который не мог дождаться, когда же он откроет глаза, чтобы можно было сказать: «Папа, тю-тю!»

The night wind gusted at the casements of his room in the tower of Hallan Castle, making the fire in the wide hearth flicker.
Сейчас в его комнату в башне Замка Халлана врывались через окна порывы ночного ветра, и от этого пламя в большом очаге то затухало, то вспыхивало.

Calls and catcalls rebounded with all the snap and flicker of billiard balls after a hard break.
Возгласы и крики разлетаются по помещению, отражаясь от всех стен, словно бильярдные шары после сильного удара.

Evening had given way to night, and the terrace was lit only by the flicker of candles on each table and the line of colored bulbs that had been strung along the front of the restaurant.
Вечер таял, наступала ночь; террасу освещало лишь мерцание свечей на столиках да гирлянда круглых разноцветных ламп, обрамлявшая фасад ресторана.

The camp fire had died down by now; there was no flicker, and the patch of red had grown small and dim...
А костер уже потухал. Свет уже не мелькал и красное пятно сузилось, потускнело...

'After a time, too, I came to connect these wells with tall towers standing here and there upon the slopes; for above them there was often just such a flicker in the air as one sees on a hot day above a sun-scorched beach.
Вскоре я заметил, что между этими колодцами и высокими башнями на склонах, холмов существует какая-то связь. Над ними можно было часто увидеть марево колеблющегося воздуха вроде того, какое бывает в жаркий день над берегом моря.

Then for the second time he looked at the expressionless and rocklike face, at the pale boring eyes in which there was no flicker, nothing, the face in which he saw his own features, in which he saw recognition, and that was all.
И вот он во второй раз увидел это ничего не выражающее каменное лицо, эти бледные пронизывающие глаза, в которых не промелькнуло никакой искорки, ничего; лицо, в котором он различил свои собственные черты, понял, что тот его узнал, и это было все.

Duncan twisted his head around and saw that the flicker came from a low-burned fire upon the hearth.
Дункан повернул голову и увидел, что мерцание исходило от камина с горящими углями.
