“Are you quite sure he will be at home?” said Jane, as they got off the Bus, she and Michael and Mary Poppins.
“Would my Uncle ask me to bring you to tea if he intended to go out, I’d like to know?” said Mary Poppins, who was evidently very offended by the question. She was wearing her blue coat with the silver buttons and the blue hat to match, and on the days when she wore these it was the easiest thing in the world to offend her.
All three of them were on the way to pay a visit to Mary Poppins’ uncle, Mr Wigg (все трое шли: «были на пути» навестить: «платить визит» дядю Мэри Поппинс, мистера Вигга;
“Why is he called Mr Wigg (почему его зовут: «он есть называемый» мистер Вигг) — does he wear one (он носит парик)?” asked Michael (спросил Майкл), hurrying along beside Mary Poppins (спеша рядом с Мэри Поппинс;
“He is called Mr Wigg because Mr Wigg is his name (его зовут мистер Вигг, потому что мистер Вигг — его имя). And he doesn’t wear one (и он не носит парик). He is bald (он лысый),” said Mary Poppins. “And if I have any more questions (и если будут: «я буду иметь» еще какие-либо вопросы) we will just go Back Home (мы просто вернемся: «будем идти» домой).” And she sniffed her usual sniff of displeasure (и она фыркнула своим обычным фырканьем недовольства).
Jane and Michael looked at each other and frowned (Джейн и Майкл посмотрели друг на друга и насупились). And the frown meant (и насупленность обозначала): “Don’t let’s ask her anything else (давай не будем спрашивать у нее что-нибудь еще) or we’ll never get there (или мы никогда не доберемся туда).”

Mary Poppins put her hat straight at the Tobacconists Shop at the corner (Мэри Поппинс поправила: «расположила свою шляпу прямо/правильно» у табачной лавки на углу;
