Шрифт:
`You will not leave me again (ты ведь меня не оставишь снова)? Law rules now, surely, and (закон теперь правит, конечно, и) …
brow [brau] unclouded [n'klaudd]
He did not tell her how he — or the Hand of Kwll — had murdered King Temgol-Lep, who had tried to poison him, or her countryman Hanafax, who had tried to help him.
When he had finished her brow was unclouded and she sighed with her happiness.
`So we have peace, at last. The conflict is over.
`Peace, if we are lucky, for a little while.
The sun had begun to rise. He adjusted his course.
`You will not leave me again? Law rules now, surely, and…
`Law rules only upon this plane (закон
`You still seek vengeance against him (ты по-прежнему будешь стремиться отомстить ему)?
`No longer (больше нет). He was merely an instrument of Arioch (он был всего лишь орудием Ариоха). But he will not forget his hatred of me, Rhalina (но он не забудет свою ненависть ко мне, Ралина).
The sky cleared and was blue and golden (небо очистилось и было /теперь/ голубым и золотистым). A warm breeze blew (дул теплый бриз; to blow).
secure [s'kju] vengeance ['ven ns]
`Law rules only upon this plane. The Lords of Chaos will not be pleased with what has happened here. Arioch's last words to me were that I have incurred the bane of the Sword Rulers. And Lord Arkyn knows that much more must be done before Law is once again secure in the Fifteen Planes. And Glandyth-a-Krae will be heard of again.

`Are we then, Corum, to have no peace (значит, Корум у нас не будет мира)?
`We shall have some, I think (будет какой-то, я думаю). But it will be merely a pause in the struggle, Rhalina (но это будет лишь передышка в борьбе, Ралина). Let us enjoy that pause while we may (давай наслаждаться этой передышкой, пока можем). We have won that much, at least (по крайней мере, мы выиграли = добились хоть такой).
`Aye. Her tone became merry (ее
He held her in his arms (он обнял ее).
The sun was strong in the sky (солнце было ярким в небе). Its rays struck a jewelled hand and a jewelled eye and it made them burn brightly and flash like fire (его лучи падали на украшенную самоцветами руку и глаз, заставляя их пылать ярко и сверкать как огонь).

`Aye. Her tone became merry. `And peace and love that are won are more greatly appreciated than if they are merely inherited!
He held her in his arms.

But Rhalina did not see them burning, for she slept again in Corum's arms (но Ралина не видела, как они пылают, потому что она снова спала в руках Корума). Moidel's Mount came in sight (Гора Мойдел показалась; to come in sight — появиться в поле зрения, показаться). Its green slopes were washed by a gentle blue sea (ее зеленые склоны омывались спокойным голубым морем) and the sun shone on its white stone castle (солнце освещало его белый каменный замок). The tide was in, covering the causeway (прилив поднимался, покрывая дамбу).
Corum looked down at Rhalina's sleeping face (Корум посмотрел на лицо спящей Ралины). He smiled and gently stroked her hair (он улыбнулся и нежно погладил ее волосы).
He saw the forest on the mainland (он увидел лес на материке). Nothing threatened (ничего /больше/ не угрожало).
He glanced up at the cloudless sky (он бросил взгляд на безоблачное небо).
He hoped the pause would be a long one (он надеялся, что передышка будет долгой).
