Английский язык с Л. Ф. Баумом - Волшебник страны Оз

spectacles [ˈspektək(ə)lz], gather [ˈɡæðə], crowd [kraud]

Then he led them into his little room and locked the spectacles from the great box on all their eyes, just as he had done before.

Afterward they passed on through the gate into the Emerald City.

When the people heard from the Guardian of the Gates that Dorothy had melted the Wicked Witch of the West, they all gathered around the travelers and followed them in a great crowd to the Palace of Oz.

The soldier with the green whiskers was still on guard before the door (солдат с зеленой бородой: «с зелеными бакенбардами» все еще нес караул перед дверью; guard — охрана, защита; караул, стража; to be on guard — быть в карауле), but he let them in at once (но он сразу же их впустил), and they were again met by the beautiful green girl (и их снова встретила красивая зеленая девушка), who showed each of them to their old rooms at once

(которая сразу же провела каждого из них в их старые комнаты), so they might rest until the Great Oz was ready to receive them (чтобы они могли отдохнуть, пока Великий Оз не будет готов принять их; to receive — получать; принимать /гостей, посетителей/).

The soldier had the news carried straight to Oz (солдат доложил новость непосредственно Озу; straight — прямо)

that Dorothy and the other travelers had come back again (о том, что Дороти и другие странники вернулись), after destroying the Wicked Witch (после того, как /они/ уничтожили Злую Ведьму); but Oz made no reply (но Оз не дал никакого ответа; reply — ответ; to make a reply — ответить, дать ответ).
