| The girls led them up four steep, very long flights of creaking wooden stairs and guided them through a doorway into their own wonderful and resplendent tenement apartment, which burgeoned miraculously with an infinite and proliferating flow of supple young naked girls and contained the evil and debauched ugly old man who irritated Nately constantly with his caustic laughter and the clucking, proper old woman in the ash-gray woolen sweater who disapproved of everything immoral that occurred there and tried her best to tidy up. | По крутой скрипучей деревянной лестнице с длинными пролетами они поднялись на четвертый этаж и вошли в блистательные чертоги где их ждал волшебный букет молодых гибких бесстыжих девиц. |
| The amazing place was a fertile, seething cornucopia of female nipples and navels. | Казалось, что букет прямо на глазах разрастается, становится все ярче и пышнее. |
| At first, there were just their own three girls, in the dimly-lit, drab brown sitting room that stood at the juncture of three murky hallways leading in separate directions to the distant recesses of the strange and marvelous bordello. The girls disrobed at once, pausing in different stages to point proudly to their garish underthings and bantering all the while with the gaunt and dissipated old man with the shabby long white hair and slovenly white unbuttoned shirt who sat cackling lasciviously in a musty blue armchair almost in the exact center of the room and bade Nately and his companions welcome with a mirthful and sardonic formality. Then the old woman trudged out to get a girl for Hungry Joe, dipping her captious head sadly, and returned with two big-bosomed beauties, one already undressed and the other in only a transparent pink half slip that she wiggled out of while sitting down. | Сначала в тускло освещенной, обшарпанной коричневой гостиной находились только три знакомые им девицы. |
| Three more naked girls sauntered in from a different direction and remained to chat, then two others. | Затем из разных коридоров в гостиную притащились еще две красотки, потом - еще три и остались в гостиной поболтать, затем - еще парочка. |
| Four more girls passed through the room in an indolent group, engrossed in conversation; three were barefoot and one wobbled perilously on a pair of unbuckled silver dancing shoes that did not seem to be her own. | Стайка из четырех девиц, поглощенная разговором, проследовала через комнату. Трое из них шли босиком, а на четвертой на каждом шагу подворачивались серебряные бальные туфельки, явно с чужой ноги. |
| One more girl appeared wearing only panties and sat down, bringing the total congregating there in just a few minutes to eleven, all but one of them completely unclothed. | Затем появилась еще одна, доведя таким образом количество членов ассамблеи до одиннадцати, причем все девицы, кроме одной, были в чем мать родила. |
| There was bare flesh lounging everywhere, most of it plump, and Hungry Joe began to die. | Заморышу Джо стало невмоготу. |
| He stood stock still in rigid, cataleptic astonishment while the girls ambled in and made themselves comfortable. | Он окаменел. |
