Es war ein kühler, vom Regen gewaschener Nachmittag an einem Tag Ende August, jene unbestimmte Jahreszeit, in der Rebhühner noch in Sicherheit oder im Kühlhaus sind und es nichts zu jagen gibt – es sei denn, man ist im Norden durch den Bristolkanal begrenzt, in welchem Fall man rechtmäßig fetten Rothirschen hinterhergaloppieren darf.

It was a chill, rain-washed afternoon of a late August day, that indefinite season when partridges are still in security or cold storage, and there is nothing to hunt—unless one is bounded on the north by the Bristol Channel, in which case one may lawfully gallop after fat red stags.

Lady Blemleys Gesellschaft war nicht durch den Bristolkanal begrenzt, daher gab es an diesem speziellen Nachmittag eine vollzählige Versammlung ihrer Gäste um den Teetisch.

Lady Blemley's house-party was not bounded on the north by the Bristol Channel, hence there was a full gathering of her guests round the tea-table on this particular afternoon.

Und trotz der Leere der Jahreszeit und der Banalität des Anlasses gab es in der Gesellschaft keine Spur jener ermüdeten Rastlosigkeit, die eine Angst vor dem Pianola und ein unterdrücktes Verlangen nach Auction Bridge bedeutet.

And, in spite of the blankness of the season and the triteness of the occasion, there was no trace in the company of that fatigued restlessness which means a dread of the pianola and a subdued hankering for auction bridge.

Reading it as a parallel text

A parallel text puts a story next to its translation, paragraph by paragraph. Read in the language you are working on and glance across only when a sentence stops you: the story keeps moving, and the words you look up stay in context. More in how to read with a parallel text.
