1. Translate into Romanian:
"Mitzi found her employer physically horible but she liked him and could not be cold to his attentions. Some muddle might soon have developed had it not providentially come about that Mr. Owen bagan to owe Mitzi money. One day he explained to her that he was not in a position to ay all her wages and would she accept half? A time would come, he assured her, when all would be well and she would get her money. How this time was to come, unles perhaps borne by a swift horse, was unclear to Mitzi, and she kept intending to leave and then deciding not to, because of pity, because she thought that if she hung on she would get some money whereas if she went away she would get none. Meanwhile Mr. Owen's honour forbade the continuation of attentions to a lady to whom money was owed, and his meaningful smiles ceased."

II. Translate into English:
Anton se ridica de pe scaunel. "Buna ziua, domnule Balosu, am plecat", spuse el, "Sa fii sanatos", zise Balosu cu glasul sau dinainte. "Dupa ce te mai odihnesti, treci zilele astea pe la mine, Antoane. Am ceva sa vorbesc cu tine." Anton nu raspunse.
In aceeasi zi la masa, in timp ce rupea painea, zambind senin si bland, el ii spuse Voichitii ca a primit ordin de concentrare si ca trebuie sa plece. Ea se facu galbena la fata si ramase muta, cu privirea speriata, ratacita. El o linisti si ii explica: nu era de rau, era de bine, pleca in misiune speciala. N-avea sa stea mult; sa n-aiba nici o grija, nici una, sa stea linistita la casa ei si sa-si vada de treaba. Cand o sa se intoarca? Pai o sa se intoarca repede! Daca nu se intoarce repede o sa-i scrie. Cand trebuie sa plece? Pai trebuie sa plece chiar maine dimineata, sau...ei bine, o sa stea si maine, dar poimaine trebuie sa fi plecat.
