Шумит Семенит под локтем у меня, блестит своей макушкой чернолаковой, а хлеб все больше вылезает из обертки.

"Here, Nastasya, take it please," he said, fumbling in his pocket (for he had slept in his clothes) and taking out a handful of coppers- "run and buy me a loaf.
-- Вот, Настасья, возьми, пожалуйста, -- сказал он, пошарив в кармане (он так и спал одетый) и вытащил горсточку меди, -- сходи и купи мне сайку.

Though there were several others who worked in the kitchen, no loaf, stew, soup, roast, or vegetable ever went out of it that had not been touched at least once by Aunt Pol.
Хотя кроме нее в кухне трудились еще несколько человек, ни одно блюдо не попадало на стол, пока тетя Пол не давала своего одобрения.

I was offended at the sight of the bread, and with a constrained air I announced that our 'food' was excellent, and that they gave us a whole French loaf for our tea every day.
Я обиделся на французские хлебы и с ущемленным видом ответил, что здесь у нас "пища" очень хорошая и нам каждый день дают к чаю по целой французской булке.

In the backs of our minds we must have been holding onto the idea that we'd be able to loaf and then spurt, loaf and then spurt, which was the way most of us had gone through our dozy hometown high schools.
Подсознательно мы цеплялись за уверенность, что можем побездельничать, а затем наверстать все спуртом, как вошло у большинства из нас в привычку в школах наших сонных городков.

He would prepare for his luncheon of dry bread and water. He would slice into a loaf - ah!

'Mr Swiveller,' said Quilp, 'being pretty well accustomed to the agricultural pursuits of sowing wild oats, Miss Sally, prudently considers that half a loaf is better than no bread.
— Познав на собственном опыте первую заповедь земледельца: что посеешь, то и пожнешь, — продолжал Квилп, — мистер Свивеллер благоразумно решил, что лучше глодать корочку, чем сидеть вовсе без хлеба.

The latter rushed after the retreating woman, and the three servants returned somewhat later bringing back one loaf of sugar which had been presented to the widow and now taken away from her.
Тот бросился за уходившими, и все трое слуг воротились через несколько времени, неся обратно раз подаренную и теперь отнятую у вдовицы одну голову сахару.

A lapis-lazuli coloured locomotive which, by accident, had a mixed train attached to it happened to loaf up to the platform just then, and we entered a first-class English compartment.
В тот миг к платформе подкатил локомотив, окрашенный в ляпис-лазурь, с прицепленным к нему, вероятно по недоразумению, товарно-пассажирским составом. Мы вошли в английское купе первого класса.

She stood in the road, a small figure clasping the loaf of bread to her filthv little dress, her eyes still and black and unwinking.

Judy answers with a nod of deepest meaning and calls, as she scrapes the butter on the loaf with every precaution against waste and cuts it into slices, "You, Charley, where are you?"
Джуди отвечает весьма многозначительным кивком, очень осторожно намазывает масло на хлеб, так, чтобы не намазать лишнего, и, разрезав хлеб на ломтики, кричит: Эй, Чарли, где ты?

“The meaning of this fable is” that West is West and Russia is Russia, or, in other words, don’t count on eating somebody else’s loaf, but yourself get up early and start baking your own.
«Смысл басни сей таков», что Запад — Западом, а Россия — Россией или, другими словами, на чужой каравай рот не разевай, а пораньше вставай да свой затевай.
