At night, in pub gardens that abutted Armada’s parklands, its plots, its meadowland left fallow on forecastles and main decks, cicadas sang over the wave noise and the puttering tug motors.
Вечером скверики у таверн (по соседству с парковой зоной, земли которой оставались под паром на ютах и главных палубах) полнились стрекотом цикад, заглушавшим шум волн и тарахтенье буксиров.

Snot flew out of his nose and his tongue fell out of his mouth. His head went over to the side and I heard soft puttering noises as the blood and brains leaked out of his head.
Сопли вылетели из носа, изо рта вывалился язык Голова наклонилась ещё ниже, окровавленные мозги медоенно поползли вниз.
