сущ.; собст.; SK, DT 4

Олив Торин

Жена мэра Хэмбри Харта Торина. Добродушная женщина, она тяжело переживала тот факт, что муж нашёл себе наложницу. Несмотря на это, она предприняла попытку спасти Сюзан от расправы, которая увы была обречена на провал.

The plumper of the two stepped forward, smiling, and dropped them a deep curtsey. Her earrings, which looked like square-cut firedims, flashed and bobbed. “You are the young men from the Affiliation, so you are, and welcome you are, as well. Goodeven, sirs, and may your days be long upon the earth!” / They bowed in unison, boots forward, and thanked her in an unintended chorus that made her laugh and clap her hands. The tall woman beside her offered them a smile as spare as her frame. / “I am Olive Thorin,” the plump woman said, “the Mayor’s wife. This is my sister-in-law, Coral.” — Более полная шагнула вперед, улыбнулась, присела в глубоком реверансе. Ее серьги, крупные кубы-рубины, буквально светились изнутри. / – А вот и наши молодые люди из Альянса. Добро пожаловать, добро пожаловать. С приездом, сэры, и да будут долгими ваши дни на земле. / Все трое поклонились в унисон, выставив вперед одну ногу, нестройным хором поблагодарили женщину, отчего она засмеялась и хлопнула в ладоши. Вторая женщина одарила их сухой, как и ее тело, улыбкой. / – Я – Олив Торин. – представилась пухленькая. – жена мэра. А это сестра моего мужа, Корал. (ТБ 4)
