Hello dears,

Voici la suite de notre texte. Mrs Rice, her daughter Elsie and Harold are
enjoying a nice glass of comforting liqueur...

Please, translate into French:


From the far end of the terrace the two bird-like women rose. They
rolled up their work carefully. They came across the stone flags.
With little bows, they sat down by Mrs Rice. One of them began to
speak. The other one let her eyes rest on Elsie and Harold. There was a
little smile on her lips. It was not, Harold thought, a nice smile...
He looked over at Mrs Rice. She was listening to the Polish woman
and though he couldn't understand a word, the expression on Mrs Rice's face
was clear enough. All the old anguish and despair came back.
She listened and occasionally spoke a brief word.
Presently the two sisters rose, and with stiff little bows went into
the hotel.
Harold leaned forward. He said hoarsely:
"What is it?"
Mrs Rice answered him in the quiet hopeless tones of despair.
"Those women are going to blackmail us.They heard everything last
night. And now we've tried to hush it up, it makes the whole thing a thousand
times worse..."

Agatha Christie, The Stymphalian Birds.
