I think she was herself the cause of this neglect, for she had a special faculty for effacing herself and holding herself aloof from people in spite of her obsequiousness and her ingratiating smiles.Причиной тому, кажется, была она сама, потому что обладала способностью отдаляться и стушевываться, несмотря на всю свою приниженность и заискивающие улыбки.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / A Raw YouthДостоевский, Фёдор / ПодростокПодростокДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Советская Россия", 1979A Raw YouthDostoevsky, Fyodor
