No one was at the front desk, so I walked right past and down a light blue corridor that looked eerie and foreboding at that time of night.
Мне пришлось некоторое время бесцельно бродить по коридору, освещенному голубоватыми лампами, от которых здесь становилось жутковато, а в голову начинали лезть самые неприятные мысли.

Она призналась потом Степану Трофимовичу, что всё это она давно предугадывала, все эти полгода каждый день, и даже именно в "этом самом роде", признание замечательное со стороны родной матери.

She instantly fulfilled his foreboding, by recurring to the theme by which her thoughts seemed most constantly engrossed, although, when she pleased, no one could so perfectly disguise her religion.
Его опасения не замедлили оправдаться, ибо Мэгделин тут же вернулась к теме, которая, казалось, неотвязно занимала ее мысли, хотя никто не умел лучше, чем она, скрывать свою религию, когда она того желала.
