Незнакомец привел их на фабрику, где он работал. Он поправил (to arrange) кучу теплой золы, которая лежала в углу, чтобы они могли провести на ней ночь. 17. Утром Нелл и старик ушли с фабрики.

Он не мог допустить, чтобы его сын женился на девушке, у которой не было ни связей (connections), ни состояния. 6.

Они уговаривали брата жениться на ней. «Ты, несомненно, будешь счастлив с ней», — не раз говорили они. 11.

Она не знала, что это было имя, которое нельзя было произносить в доме Осборнов, и попросила девушек рассказать ей все, что они знали об Эмилии. 16. «Лучше не упоминайте ее имени! — закричали испуганные девицы. — Ее отец опозорил себя и всю свою семья». 17. Когда Джордж услышал, что его сестры плохо отзываются об Эмилии (to speak ill of somebody), он пришел в негодование и сказал, что она самая добрая и красивая девушка во всей Англии. 18. Он не заметил, что мистер Осборн вошел в комнату. 19. Старик был очень недоволен тем, что Джордж ослушался его приказания. 20. За обедом он много пил и с нетерпением ждал, когда дамы уйдут из комнаты. 21. Джордж открыл дамам дверь и, вернувшись к столу, сказал, что его сестры первые заговорили об Эмилии. 22. Мистер Осборн приказал сыну, порвать с Эмилией (to break with somebody altogether). «Мисс Сварц — вот девушка, на которой тебе следует жениться», — сказал он. 23. «Восемь тысяч в год — это слишком большая сумма, чтобы ты мог отказаться от нее», — продолжал старик. 24. “Я лучше останусь холостяком на всю жизнь, чем женюсь на мисс Сварц», — ответил Джордж. 25. Старик пришел в ярость и закричал, что лишит сына наследства (to disinherit). Он был уверен, что, зная это, Джордж едва ли ослушается его.
