Translate the following passage into English. Compare it with the original
– Правильно, - ответила Мег. – В этом и проявляется истинный аристократизм. Настоящую леди узнаешь в первую очередь по безукоризненно чистой обуви, перчаткам и чистому носовому платку, несмотря ни на какие обстоятельства. Ты не забыла, Джо, что тебе нельзя поворачиваться друг ой стороной? — продолжала свои наставления Мег, стоя перед зеркалом в гардеробной миссис Гардинер. - Иначе все заметят пятно. Как мой пояс? А волосы? Не слишком ужасно выглядят? – И она еще раз придирчиво оглядела себя в зеркало.
– Боюсь, я забуду про свое платье, – честно ответила Джо. – Если я что-то сделаю не так, мигни мне, ладно? – И, поправив воротник, она наскоро провела щеткой по голове.
– Нет, подмигивать я не буду. Это неприлично. Если ты что-то сделаешь не так, я чуть-чуть подниму брови, а если все будет нормально, кивну. Спину держи прямо и ступай маленькими шажками. Когда тебя будут с кем-нибудь знакомить, не пожимай руку, это не принято.
– И как только у тебя в голове держатся все эти правила? Я вот никак не запомню их. Веселая музыка, а? – тут же переключилась Джо на более интересную тему.
Сестры вошли в зал и сразу немного оробели, В гостях они бывали нечасто, и подобные выходы были для них весьма важным событием,
Миссис Гардинер, величественная пожилая дама, ласково поздоровалась с сестрами и вверила их попечению старшей из шести своих дочерей. Мег была знакома с Салли и скорее освоилась в ее обществе. А вот Джо заскучала. Она не любила девчачьей компании и теперь, подпирая стену, чувствовала себя подобно жеребенку, который случайно забрел в цветник.
Ее влекло в другой угол комнаты, где шестеро юношей весело рассуждали о катании на коньках. Вот с ними Джо чувствовала бы себя вполне в своей стихии! Она обожала кататься на коньках! Джо взглядом спросила у сестры, будет ли прилично подойти к молодым людям, но та столь угрожающе вскинула брови, что Джо пришлось остаться на месте.
