Indeed, one gained a curious impression that this place had been deliberately closed and deserted in some dim, bygone aeon, rather than overwhelmed by any sudden calamity or even gradual decay.
Трудно было отделаться от впечатления, что город не бросили в спешке, застигнутые внезапной бедой, а покинули сознательно. И речи не могло идти постепенном вымирании.

Poor Volodya was so overwhelmed by the thought that he was a coward, that he espied scorn for himself in every glance, in every word, as though they had been addressed to a pitiable poltroon.
Бедного Володю так одолевала мысль, что он трус, что в каждом взгляде, в каждом слове он находил презрение к себе, как к жалкому трусу.

Some tricksy spirit called out with your voice and he heard and pulled rein, and so they came on to us and overwhelmed us, though without hurt as it chanced.
Какой-то дух сыграл с нами шутку, позвал его вашим голосом; он услышал и придержал коня, тогда они нас догнали и захватили благодаря своему численному превосходству, но, по счастью, мы остались целы я невредимы.
