Examples from texts

" At this moment he noticed that he was close to their house; he had felt that he must gravitate to this spot eventually, and, with a beating heart, he mounted the verandah steps.
Сообразив это, он увидал, что стоит у самой их дачи; он так и знал, что должен был непременно очутиться, наконец, здесь и, замирая сердцем, ступил на террасу.

Я причалил к столу, за которым играл Ронни, и потерял три из остававшихся у меня шести долларов, затем перекочевал за другой, где вернул их и добавил к ним еще парочку.

He had had some coughing and whistling satellites secretly gravitating towards him about the premises, but they were now dismissed, and he eyed John as if he had meant to do him a public service, but had unfortunately been anticipated.
Покашливающие и посвистывающие приспешники, незаметно расставленные им вокруг дома, теперь были отпущены, и господин инспектор смотрел на Джона так, будто собирался оказать ему какую-то великую услугу, да вот горе - не успел!
