V. Translation.

Она убедила Чарльза, что многим обязана Майклу, и, потом, у них был ребенок; она не могла позволить ему вырасти с тяжким бременем осознания, что его мать — дурная женщина. Деревья деревьями, но у нее не будет ни минуты душевного покоя на этой прекрасной вилле в Италии, если она будет мучиться от мысли, что Майкл несчастен, а за ее ребенком приглядывают незнакомые люди. Нельзя ведь думать только о себе? С чувствами других тоже стоит считаться. Она была так мила и женственна! Иногда она спрашивала Чарльза, почему он не разведется с женой и не женится на какой-нибудь милой девушке. Ей была невыносима мысль, что из-за нее он портит себе жизнь. Чарльз отвечал, что только ее он любит и будет любить до конца своих дней.

— Как печально! — говорила Джулия.

Все же она всегда была начеку, и если замечала какую-нибудь женщину, имеющую виды на Чарльза, то делала все, чтобы разрушить ее планы. Джулия, не мешкая, устраивала сцену ревности, если опасность казалась ей особенно велика. Они уже давно пришли к соглашению: не на словах, конечно, но при помощи осторожных намеков и отдаленных иносказаний, со всем тактом, которого можно было ждать от Чарльза, при его воспитании, и от Джулии, при ее добром сердце, — что если с Майклом что-нибудь случится, что они так или иначе избавятся от леди Чарльз, и тогда смогут пожениться. Но у Майкла было великолепное здоровье.

7. Questions.

3) The room into which he led her was fairly large, but dingily furnished. On the table was a plate of cakes and two cups, a sugar basin and a milk-jug. The crockery was of the cheapest sort. The room reminded her very much of some of the lodgings she had lived in when she was first on the stage.

4) At the beginning she did not take it seriously and believed that she was doing a good action. When J was coming to his flat she thought that It would be wonderful for him in after years to be able to tell his wife and children that Julia Lambert had been to tea with him when he was just a little insignificant clerk in an accountant's office. And if they didn't believe him he'd have her photograph to prove it, signed yours sincerely. However after some time she attached to him and started to experience strong feelings for him.

5) Probably comparing herself with the wife and the child of that Spanish man, she finds men like him disgusting, because you never know what they can do. Firstly she didn’t like this affair and felt offended, but in fact his passion impressed her, and she was looking for a man like him for years after the thing happened.

6) Julia is a very conversational character. On the one hand, she does not respect such behavior, but on the other, she wants this.
