“I apologize, Mary, my dear. But you know how it is with me. Still, I must say I never thought my two young friends here would catch it, really I didn’t, Mary! I suppose I should have asked them for another day or tried to think of something sad or something — ”
“Well, I must say (ну, я должна сказать),” said Mary Poppins primly (сказала Мэри Поппинс чопорно), “that I have never in my life seen such a sight (что я никогда в жизни не видела такого зрелища). And at your age, Uncle (и в вашем возрасте, дядя) —”
“Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins, do come up (Мэри Поппинс, Мэри Поппинс, поднимайтесь наверх)!” interrupted Michael (перебил Майкл). “Think of something funny (подумайте о чем-нибудь смешном) and you’ll find it’s quite easy (и вы обнаружите, что это совсем легко).”
“Ah, now do, Mary (ах, давай сейчас = ну давай же, Мэри)!” said Mr Wigg persuasively (сказал мистер Вигг убедительно = стараясь убедить).
“We’re lonely up here without you (мы одиноки здесь наверху без вас)!” said Jane, and held out her arms towards Mary Poppins (и протянула свои руки по направлению к Мэри Поппинс;

“We’re lonely up here without you!” said Jane, and held out her arms towards Mary Poppins. “Do think of something funny!”

“Well,” said Mary Poppins, “it’s all very silly and undignified, but, since you’re all up there and don’t seem able to get down, I suppose I’d better come up, too.”
With that, to the surprise of Jane and Michael, she put her hands down at her sides and without a laugh, without even the faintest glimmer of a smile, she shot up through the air and sat down beside Jane.
