Frank always referred to her pregnancy embarrassedly as "your condition," Gerald had been wont to say delicately "in the family way," when he had to mention such matters, and ladies genteelly referred to pregnancy as being "in a fix."
Фрэнк от стеснения всегда говорил об ее беременности иносказательно: "в вашем положении"; Джералд деликатно говорил: "в ожидании прибавления семейства", а дамы жеманно именовали беременность "состоянием".
