Not till Wednesday morning did it occur to the Reverend Elmer Gantry that he need not sneak and prowl, not necessarily, no matter what his custom had been, and that there was nothing to prevent his openly calling on her.
Только в среду вечером преподобному Элмеру Гентри пришло в голову, что ему, вообще говоря, вовсе нет нужды прятаться и таиться - это совсем не обязательно - и что он может прийти к Лулу совершенно открыто.
