No one had said much since Beth calmed down, a feat accomplished by prodigious lying on Laurel’s part, more fluff about Mommy and Daddy playing a grown-ups’ game.
После того как Лорел успокоила Бет – подвиг, потребовавший виртуозной лжи о том, что папа с мамой просто играют во взрослые игры, – никто из них не проронил ни слова.

Then, as in the hospital ward with Susannah, he felt himself once more tossed upward like something without weight, blown out of Callahan's mind and body like a bit of cobweb or a fluff of dandelion thistle.
А потом, как в больничной палате, где лежала Сюзанна, он вновь почувствовал, что его тащит наверх, как что‑то невесомое, выдуло из тела и разума Каллагэна, словно клок паутины или «парашют» с семечком распушенной головки одуванчика.

But on this occasion the thought that I was covered with fluff contributed to my discomfiture so that, in fact, I floundered a little and dropped into being over- familar.
Но в настоящем случае тому особенно способствовала еще и мысль, что я в пуху, так что я несколько даже сплошал и влез в фамильярность...

My coat was crumpled and covered with fluff, too, because I had slept in it without undressing, and this was the fourth day I had worn my shirt.
На мне был перемятый сюртук, и вдобавок в пуху, потому что я так и спал не раздевшись, а рубашке приходился уже четвертый день.

To the trained eye there is as much difference between the black ash of a Trichinopoly and the white fluff of bird's-eye as there is between a cabbage and a potato.”
Для опытного глаза разница между черным пеплом трихинопольского табака и белыми хлопьями «птичьего глаза» так же велика, как между картошкой и капустой.
