CHAPTER 5

The Princess Lets Well Alone ||оставляет||

When she woke the next morning, the first thing she heard was the rain still falling. Indeed, this day was so like the last that it would have been difficult to tell where was the use of It. The first thing she thought of, however, was not the rain, but the lady in the tower; and the first question that occupied her thoughts was whether she should not ask the nurse to fulfil her promise this very morning, and  go with her to find her grandmother as soon as she had had her breakfast. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||выполнить||||||||||||||||||||| But she came to the conclusion that perhaps the lady would not be pleased if she took anyone to see her without first asking leave; especially as it was pretty evident, seeing she lived on pigeons' eggs, and cooked them herself, that she did not want the household to know she was there. So the princess resolved to take the first opportunity of running up alone and asking whether she might bring her nurse. She believed the fact that she could not otherwise convince her she was telling the truth would have much weight with her grandmother. ||||||||иначе||||||||||||||

The princess and her nurse were the best of friends all dressing-time, and the princess in consequence ate an enormous little breakfast. |||||||||||одевания||||||в результате|||огромный||

'I wonder, Lootie'--that was her pet name for her nurse--'what pigeons' eggs taste like?' ||Лути||||||||||||| — Интересно, Лути, — так ласково звала она свою няню, — какие на вкус голубиные яйца? she said, as she was eating her egg--not quite a  common one, for they always picked out the pinky ones for her. |||||||||||||||||||розовые|||

'We'll get you a pigeon's egg, and you shall judge for yourself,' said the nurse. ||||голубиного|||||||||| 'Oh, no, no!' returned Irene, suddenly reflecting they might disturb the old lady in getting it, and that even if they did not, she would have one less in consequence. вернули||вдруг|размышляя|они|могли бы|||||||||||||||||||||в результате — возразила Ирэн, внезапно сообразив, что они могут помешать пожилой даме получить его, а если и не побеспокоят, то в результате у нее будет на одну меньше.

'What a strange creature you are,' said the nurse--'first to want a thing and then to refuse it!' |||||||||||||||||отказаться от| But she did not say it crossly, and the princess never minded any remarks that were not unfriendly. ||||||раздражённо|||||||замечания|||| Но она не говорила это сердито, и принцесса никогда не возражала против замечаний, которые не были бы недружественными.

'Well, you see, Lootie, there are reasons,' she returned, and said no more, for she did not want to bring up the subject of their former strife, lest her nurse should offer to go before she had had her  grandmother's permission to bring her. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||разногласия|||||||||||||бабушкиной|разрешение бабушки||| Of course she could refuse to take her, but then she would believe her less than ever. ||||отказаться|||||||||||| Конечно, она могла отказаться брать ее, но тогда она поверила бы ей меньше, чем когда-либо.
