Pity for him because she no longer loved him.
She was a kindly woman (она была доброй женщиной), and she realized that it
would be a bitter blow to his pride (и она понимала, что это был бы жестокий:
«горький» удар по его чувству собственного достоинства) if he ever had an
inkling (если бы он /хотя бы только/ догадывался) how little he meant to her
(как мало он значил для нее). She continued to flatter him (она продолжала
говорить ему комплименты: «льстить ему»). She noticed (она заметила) that
for long now (что теперь, уже за долгое время) he had come to listen
complacently (он стал слушать самодовольно; to come to do smth. — начинать
делать что-то, полюбить делать что-то) to her praise of his exquisite nose
and beautiful eyes (ее похвалы его изящному носу и красивым глазам). She got
a little private amusement (она получала свои маленькие /личные/ развлечения)
by seeing how much he could swallow (смотря на то, сколько он может
принимать на веру /комплименты/; to swallow — глотать, проглатывать,
  
терпеть, верить). She laid it on with a trowel (она грубо льстила ему; to lay it
on with a trowel — преувеличивать, утрировать, хватить через край, trowel
— совок, лопатка). But now she looked more often (но теперь она смотрела
гораздо чаще) at his straight thin-lipped mouth (на его прямой, тонкий рот: «рот
с тонкими губами»). It grew meaner as he grew older (он становился все
тоньше: «хуже», чем старше он становился), and by the time he was an old man
(и к тому времени, как он совсем состарится: «когда он будет стариком») it
would be no more (он превратится: «будет не больше чем) than a cold hard line
(в холодную жесткую линию). His thrift (его бережливость), which in the early
days had seemed an amusing (которая раньше: «в более ранние дни» казалась
забавной), rather touching trait (даже довольно трогательной чертой), now
revolted her (теперь вызывала в ней отвращение).
