13. You see, she wasn’t a woman who ever inspired love.
Only affection. It was absurd to be jelous over her. She
was like a clear deep pool in a forest glade into which is
heavenly to plunge, but it is neither less cool nor less
crystalline because a tramp and a gipsy and a gamekeeper
have plunged into it before you.
Ex. 6
Comment on the following:
‘I think it may be not unjustly said that Mrs. Barton Trafford
fairly ran over with the milk of human kindness, but all the
same I have an inkling that if ever the milk of human kindness
was charged with vitriol, here was a case in point.’
Say how this characterizes Mrs. Barton Trafford.
Ex. 7
Compare the characteristics of the English and the Americans
given by Ashenden and Roy respectively.
– “I could have wished on this chilly day that there were a
fire in the grate, but the English are a hardy as well as a
conservative race; and it is not difficult for them to main-
tain their principles at the cost of the discomfort of others.”
– “You don’t know America as well as I do. They always pre-
fer a live mouse to a dead lion. That’s one of the reasons
why I like America.”
Comment on both opinions and say if you share any of them.
Ex. 8
Agree or disagree with Ashenden’s opinion of Rosie:
“She was naturally affectionate. When she liked anyone it was
quite natural for her to go to bed with him. She never thought
twice about it. It was not vice; it wasn’t lasciviousness; it was
her nature. She gave herself as naturally as the sun gives heat
or the flowers their perfume. It was a pleasure to her and she
liked to give pleasure to others. It had no effect on her charac-
ter; she remained sincere, unspoiled, and artless.”
Give your own evaluation of Rosie’s nature.

Ex. 9
Discuss Rosie’s behaviour after her daughter’s death in pairs.
Support or challenge her words:
“You know how funny men are; they don’t understand some
things. I knew Harry would think it dreadful of me to come out
to supper when the poor child was lying dead in the hospital.
He’d be awfully sorry and all that, but that’s not what I
wanted; I wanted to laugh …
…it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just nerves; …I know, because
that’s how I felt then.”
Ex. 10
Give a summary of the chapters outlining their main narrative
events and describing the main characters.
Ex. 11
Translate the following passages:
p.p. 213–215 from “Mrs. Barton Trafford, exercising a gentle
violence, …” to “To the end she retained something kittenish.”
p.p. 218–222 from “Knowing English Enn…” to the end of the
chapter.
p.p. 223–224 from “It gave me a shock.” to “…and colliers
came to Blackstable no longer.”
p.p. 227–229 from “After luncheon we went into the drawing
room…” to “…the great honour of writing Edward Driffield’s
life.”
p.p. 233–237 from “We looked at more photographs of Ed-
ward …” to “…have plunged into it before you.”
p.p. 241–242 from “Rosie was at least seventy.” to “…Rosie
was the same as ever.”
p.p. 246–248 from “It was The Cup of Life that had raised
such a storm of protest;” to “…My legs were like lead.”
Ex. 12
Translate the following into English:
I. Миссис Бартон Траффорд наслаждалась вовсю. Но она
оставалась верна себе. Приглашать его в гости одного,
без нее, было бесполезно: он отказывался. А когда на

филда, они и приезжали вместе, и уезжали вместе. Она
