He was not very well dressed (одет он был не очень хорошо), but then foreigners
often weren't (но, потом, многие иностранцы были /одеты плохо/: «не были
/одеты хорошо/»), his clothes might have cost a lot (его одежда вполне могла
стоить дорого) even if they were badly cut (даже если она и была плохо
скроена), and his tie, though rather loud, she recognized as a Charvet (и его
галстук, хотя и достаточно вычурный, она узнала, это был галстук от
Шарвье; loud — громкий, кричащий). When they came to the coffee (когда им
подали кофе: «они дошли до кофе») he asked her whether he might offer her a
liqueur (он спросил у нее, может ли он предложить ей ликер).
"That's very kind of you (это очень мило с вашей стороны). Perhaps it'll make
me sleep better (возможно он поможет мне лучше уснуть: «позволит мне
лучше спать»)."
He offered her a cigarette (он предложил ей сигарету). His cigarette-case was
silver (его портсигар был из серебра: «серебряный»), that put her off a little
(что слегка сбило ее с толку; to put off — зд. обескураживать, смущать), but
when he closed it she saw (но когда он закрыл его, она увидела) that in the
corner was a small crown in gold (что в углу была маленькая корона из золота).

He must be a count or something (он, должно быть, граф или что-то в этом
роде). It was rather chic (это было достаточно изыскано; chic — шик,
элегантность), having a silver cigarette-case with a gold crown on it (иметь
серебряный портсигар с золотой короной на нем).
