1 snares and pitfalls
соблазны, искушенияBoth George and Edna seemed to be going on all right just then, and this, too, was a great source of pleasure to Mr Smeeth, who saw them - and had seen them ever since they were babes - surrounded by snares and pitfalls without number.

VI) — Однако и Джордж и Эдна как раз теперь вели себя примерно - и это также было великим утешением для мистера Смита, который с раннего их детства трепетал за них, воображая, что их на каждом шагу подстерегают опасности и западни.
