      1. She must earn her own food, or starve! And we have stolen upon Miss Hepzibah Pyncheon, too irreverently, at the instant of time when the patrician lady is to be transformed into the plebeian woman. In this republican country, amid the fluctuating waves of our social life, somebody is always at the drowning-point. The tragedy is enacted with as continual a repetition as that of a popular drama on a holiday; and, nevertheless, is felt as deeply, perhaps, as when an hereditary noble sinks below his order. More deeply; since, with us, rank is the grosser substance of wealth and a splendid establishment, and has no spiritual existence after the death of these, but dies hopelessly along with them. And, therefore, since we have been unfortunate enough to introduce our heroine at so inauspicious a juncture, we would entreat for a mood of due solemnity in the spectators of her fate. Let us behold, in poor Hepzibah, the immemorial lady—two hundred years old, on this side of the water, and thrice as many on the other—with her antique portraits, pedigrees, coats of arms, records and traditions, and her claim, as joint heiress, to that princely territory at the eastward, no longer a wilderness but a populous fertility—born, too, in Pyncheon Street, under the Pyncheon Elm, and in the Pyncheon House, where she has spent all her days—reduced now in that very house, to be the hucksteress of a cent-shop!
        Она должна заработать себе на хлеб насущный или умереть!

      2. "I wish", I said, "we knew more about our guide. I dare-say I can dig up the others in the Saint Austell library — I've found the Carminowes already, as I told you, John, and his brother Oliver, and Oliver's wife Isolda — but a steward called Roger is rather a long shot, and is hardly likely to figure in any pedigree."
        – Хорошо бы побольше узнать о нашем проводнике, – сказал я. – Думаю, об остальных мне удастся получить информацию в библиотеке Сент-Остелла. Я говорил тебе, что уже нашел там семейство Карминоу – Джона, его старшего брата Оливера и жену Оливера, Изольду. Но какой-то управляющий по имени Роджер – это задачка потруднее. Навряд ли он фигурирует в генеалогиях.

      3. You can't help your pedigree, and I quite agree with you that I would have married Mr. Joe Sedley; for could a poor penniless girl do better?
        Вы не можете изменить свою родословную, а я не отрицаю, что могла бы выйти замуж за мистера Джо Седли. А что еще оставалось делать бедной девушке без гроша в кармане?
