Adaptation is a wonderful thing, and most Morporkians would be hard put to smell a burning feather mattress at five feet.
Приспособляемость – чудесная вещь, и большинство морпоркцев оказались бы в затруднительном положении, если бы их попросили унюхать горящий матрас с расстояния двух шагов.

The feather-light touch of another presence brushed against her.
Неожиданно у нее появилось едва уловимое ощущение чьего‑то присутствия.

Choking with the smoke and screaming with the heat, for the room was on fire by the time she reached it, she was still trying with her decrepit hands to squeeze her feather bed through a broken window pane.
Задыхаясь в дыму и крича от жару, потому что загорелась и каморка, она всё-таки изо всех сил старалась просунуть сквозь выбитое в раме стекло дряхлыми руками свою перину.

It is a feather, it is the seed of the grass, blown hither and thither, sometimes multiplying itself and dying in the act, sometimes carried away into the heavens.
Это легкое перышко, это семя травинки, которое ветер носит во все стороны. Иногда оно размножается и тут же умирает, иногда улетает в небеса.

"It's very nice here," I went on -- "warm, soft, snug... and goose-feather pens," I laughed, looking at the writing-table; "sand instead of blotting-paper."
- У вас тут хорошо, - продолжал я, - тепло, мягко, уютно... И гусиные перья, - засмеялся я, поглядев на письменный стол, - песочница...

Why, you King-Post, you, I suppose you would have every man in the world go about with a small lightning-rod running up the corner of his hat, like a militia officer's skewered feather, and trailing behind like his sash.
А ты, Водорез, ты бы, я думаю, хотел, чтобы все люди на свете ходили с громоотводиками на шляпе, наподобие пера у офицера ополчения, и чтобы сзади они развевались, точно офицерские шарфы?

The inhabitants, fully expecting the fire to reach their houses, were hauling out their belongings, but had not yet left their dwellings, and were waiting meanwhile sitting on their boxes and feather beds under their windows.
Тут огня ждали наверно и жители вытаскивали имущество, но всё еще не отходили от своих жилищ, а в ожидании сидели на вытащенных сундуках и перилах, каждый под своими окнами.

В общем, разбойник больше смахивал на элегантно одетый гриб с пером в шляпке.

We slept well and if I woke in the night I knew it was from only one cause and I would shift the feather bed over, very softly so that Catherine would not be wakened and then go back to sleep again, warm and with the new lightness of thin covers.
Мы спали крепко, и если ночью я просыпался, то знал отчего, и тогда я отодвигал пуховик, очень осторожно, чтобы не разбудить Кэтрин, и опять засыпал, с новым чувством легкости от тонкого одеяла.

La Teuse dusted the linen, yellow from long usage, and plied her feather-brush along the shelf against which she set the liturgical altar-cards.
Она обмахнула метелочкой эти порыжевшие от времени пелены и с силой провела ею вдоль ступени, на которую раньше составила футляры с престола.

The room in which they had been sitting till that moment was too small, and was divided in two by cotton curtains, behind which was a huge bed with a puffy feather mattress and a pyramid of cotton pillows.
Та же комната, в которой до сих пор сидели, была к тому же и тесна, разгорожена надвое ситцевою занавеской, за которою опять-таки помещалась огромная кровать с пухлою периной и с такими же ситцевыми подушками горкой.
