Examples from texts

He sat quietly looking at her; but, with these appendages partially revealing themselves, and with a quantity of bristling oakum- coloured head and whisker, he had a formidable appearance.
Он сидел, спокойно глядя на нее, но эти видимые глазу дополнения к его костюму, эта густая шапка волос и бакенбарды цвета пакли придавали ему грозный вид.

For the combination of both these blessings in the one simple process of picking oakum, Oliver bowed low by the direction of the beadle, and was then hurried away to a large ward; where, on a rough, hard bed, he sobbed himself to sleep.
В благодарность за соединение этих двух благодеяний в несложной операции трепанья пеньки Оливер, по указанию бидла, низко поклонился и был поспешно уведен в большую комнату, где на грубой, жесткой кровати он рыдал, пока не заснул.
