Английский язык с Мюриэль Спарк. Рассказы

"We will (мы будем /скучать/)," said Lou. She was reading the parish magazine (она читала приходской журнал; parish— церковный приход), which she seldom did (что она редко делала), although she was one of the voluntary workers (хотя она была одной из добровольных сотрудников: «работников») who sent them out (которые рассылали их /журналы/), addressing hundreds of wrappers every month (подписывая: «указывая адрес на» сотни бандеролей: «упаковок» каждый месяц). She had vaguely noticed (она мельком: «неясно» заметила), in previous numbers (в предыдущих номерах), various references to the Black Madonna (различные упоминания: «ссылки, указания» о Черной Мадонне), how she had granted this or that favour (как она даровала ту или иную милость; togrant— жаловать, дарить). Lou had heard (Лу знала: «слышала») that people sometimes came from neighbouring parishes (что люди иногда приезжали из близлежащих: «соседних» приходов) to pray at the Church of the Sacred Heart (чтобы помолиться в Церкви Священного Сердца) because of the statue (/специально/ из-за статуи). Some said (некоторые говорили) they came from all over England (что они приезжали со всей Англии), but whether this was to admire the art-work (но приезжали ли они: «было ли это», чтобы восхититься произведением искусства) or to pray (или чтобы помолиться), Lou was not sure (Лу не была уверена). She gave her attention (она уделила внимание = внимательно читала) to the article in the parish magazine (статье в приходском журнале):
