In a great lilac bush in the Kalitins' garden a nightingale had built its nest; its first evening notes filled the pauses of the eloquent speech; the first stars were beginning to shine in the rosy sky over the motionless tops of the limes.
В саду Калитиных, в большом кусту сирени, жил соловей; его первые вечерние звуки раздавались в промежутках красноречивой речи; первые звезды зажигались на розовом небе над неподвижными верхушками лип.

Max considered the question for a moment, tempted to provide Roussel with some grist for the village gossip mill: a weekend love nest for the Marseille soccer team, an ostrich farm, a school for wayward girls.
Макс помолчал в раздумье; его так и подмывало брякнуть какую-нибудь чушь — пусть деревенские сплетники потешатся: устрою любовное гнездышко для футбольной команды Марселя, или страусиную ферму, или школу для заблудших девиц.

Where was the pitifulness which often made me burst into tears at the sight of a young bird fallen from its nest, or of a puppy being thrown over a wall, or of a chicken being killed by the cook for soup?
Куда девалось чувство сострадания, заставлявшее меня, бывало, плакать навзрыд при виде выброшенного из гнезда галчонка или щенка, которого несут, чтобы кинуть за забор, или курицы, которую несет поваренок для супа?
