Английский с Гербертом Уэллсом. Дверь в стене. Фантастические повести / Н. G. Wells. The Door in the Wall - стр. 12

I seem to see the figure of that little boy, drawn and repelled. And it was very clear in his mind, too, though why it should be so was never explained, that his father would be very angry if he went through that door.

Wallace described all these moments of hesitation to me with the utmost particularity (Уоллес описал мне все эти моменты колебания с крайней обстоятельностью/в мельчайших деталях). He went right past the door (он прошел прямо мимо двери), and then, with his hands in his pockets (а потом /засунув/ руки в карманы), and making an infantile attempt to whistle (и сделав ребяческую попытку засвистеть), strolled right along beyond the end of the wall (побрел прямо вперед, пока не кончилась стена: «за пределы конца стены»). There he recalls a number of mean, dirty shops, and particularly that of a plumber and decorator (там, как он вспоминает, /был/ ряд захудалых, грязных лавок и особенно мастерская водопроводчика и мастера по внутренней отделке помещений), with a dusty disorder of earthenware pipes (с пыльным беспорядком из глиняных труб), sheet lead, ball taps (листов свинца, кранов: «шариковых кранов»), pattern books of wall paper (/подшитых в/ книги образцов обоев), and tins of enamel (и банок с эмалью). He stood pretending to examine these things, and coveting, passionately desiring the green door (он стоял, делая вид, что рассматривает эти вещи, но /на самом деле/ жаждал, страстно желал /вернуться/ к зеленой двери).

Then, he said, he had a gust of emotion (затем, он сказал, у него была = его охватила буря эмоций; gust – взрыв /гнева и т. п./). He made a run for it (он помчался к ней), lest hesitation should grip him again (пока колебания снова не охватили его), he went plump with outstretched hand through the green door and let it slam behind him
