I had some money at the time, and in the regiment I led a dissipated life, and spent freely; well, the officers, my comrades, did not like me, though I tried not to offend anyone.
У меня были тогда деньги, я в полку мотал, жил открыто; но офицеры-товарищи меня не любили, хотя я старался не оскорблять.

- Yet stay - you travel with Lord Lindesay, a man of the old world, rough and honest, though untaught; see that thou offend him not, for he is not patient of raillery, and thou, I have heard, art a crack-halter.
Нет, подожди; ты поедешь с лордом Линдсеем. Это человек старого закала, прямой, честный, хотя и лишенный всякого лоска; смотри же не оскорби его как-нибудь; он не терпит насмешек, а ты, как я слыхал, большой охотник до шуток.

We had never had young ladies who rode on horseback before; it was only natural that the appearance of Lizaveta Nikolaevna oh horseback and her neglect to pay calls was bound to offend local society.
У нас до сих пор никогда еще не бывало амазонок; естественно, что появление Лизаветы Николаевны, прогуливавшейся верхом и еще не сделавшей визитов, должно было оскорблять общество.
