Why did her eyes always glow with a strange fire? What else did she want, that witch with a very slight squint in one eye, who always decked herself with mimosa every spring?
Что нужно было этой женщине, в глазах которой всегда горел какой-то непонятный огонечек, что нужно было этой чуть косящей на один глаз ведьме, украсившей себя тогда весною мимозами?

It fortunately fell short of its mark and broke safely upon the stone steps, setting on fire nothing more important than a fellow rioter.
