There was digging and ditching and yamplanting, and a dozen other things to be done, so we were busy enough all day; though in the evening we had a little time to ourselves.
Мы рыли землю, проводили канализацию, работали на бататовых плантациях, и было еще много других работ, так что весь день у нас был занят, зато вечер принадлежал нам.

At last he was persuaded to move on from the front of the Crown; and being now almost facing the house where the Bateses lodged, Emma recollected his intended visit the day before, and asked him if he had paid it.
Наконец его уговорили оторваться от окон «Короны» и пойти дальше, и, когда перед ними очутился дом, в котором квартировали Бейтсы, Эмма, вспомнив, что он накануне имел намерение посетить их, спросила, состоялся ли визит.
