В комнате все еще чувствовался легкий запах пороха. Две или три книжки, недавно купленные мистером Полли, валялась под кроватью, брошенные туда разъяренной рукой.

But when I turned at a crossing, I saw that everybody shied off sideways from the corner building, gave it a wide berth—as if a pipe had burst there and cold water were gushing out, making it impossible to use the sidewalk.
Но вот перекресток, поворот за угол, и я вижу: все как‑то странно, стороной огибают угол здания – будто там в стене прорвало какую‑то трубу, брызжет холодная вода, и по тротуару нельзя пройти.

Once or twice when he visited Charlotte he encountered her two colleagues, who were shy and girlish with Garp in the daylight of Charlotte's sunny room.
