The 1) chauffeur stopped the car.
He walked round and opened the car door for me. I could hear sounds of a 2) lively party — voices, music, laughter. When I knocked, the front door swung open and a man stood there. He was tall, and his face was 3) tanned, he’d obviously just got back from some tropical holiday or other.
‘I’m here to see Mr Charles,’ I said.
Without a word, he led me into the house. I heard a woman 4) was giggling as I followed him. Perhaps she thought my arrival was some sort of joke.
I waited alone in the small study. I’d been in it before, three weeks ago, so it was 5) familiar. Everything looked the same. But no — the picture of the 6) suspicious woman had gone. The wall was empty. How strange! At that moment the door opened, and a deep 7) confident voice said, ‘I’ve been expecting you.’
Шофер остановил машину.
Он обошел вокруг и открыл дверь машины для меня. Я мог слышать звуки оживленной вечеринки — голоса, музыка, смех. Когда я постучал, входная дверь распахнулась, и там стоял мужчина. Он был высок, и его лицо было загорелым, он, очевидно, только что вернулся из какой-то тропической страны или что-то еще.
«Я здесь, чтобы увидеть мистера Чарльза», сказал я.
Не говоря ни слова, он провел меня в дом. Я слышал, что женщина хихикала, в то время как я следовал за ним. Может быть, она думала, что мой приезд был какой-то шуткой.
Я ждал в одиночестве в маленьком кабинете. Я был в нем раньше, три недели назад, так что он был знакомым. Все выглядело так же. Но нет — картина подозрительной женщины исчезла. Стена была пуста. Как странно! В этот момент дверь открылась, и глубокий уверенный голос сказал: «Я ожидал тебя».
