But there are others who accuse him: there are vague rumours of a question, of a suspicion, an obscure report, a feeling of expectation.
Но ведь есть же и еще кое-кто из показывающих: это некоторое, хотя и неясное брожение в обществе какого-то вопроса, какого-то подозрения, слышен какой-то неясный слух, чувствуется, что существует какое-то ожидание.

For a long time there had been rumours-circulated, he had reason to think, by some malignant enemy-that there was something subversive and even revolutionary in the outlook of himself and his colleagues.
В течение долгого времени ходили слухи - распускавшиеся, как у него есть основания считать, нашими злостными врагами - что и он сам, и его коллеги придерживаются подозрительных и даже революционных воззрений.

And if he had found out that some one was spreading or upholding such rumours, the benevolent old man would have become his implacable foe.
И если бы он узнал, что кто-нибудь распространяет или утверждает о нем этот слух, то, кажется, этот незлобивейший человек стал бы ему вечным врагом.

There were rumours that she had been at seventeen betrayed by someone, some sort of officer, and immediately afterwards abandoned by him.
Были только слухи, что семнадцатилетнею еще девочкой была она кем-то обманута, каким-то будто-бы офицером, и затем тотчас же им брошена.

Moreover, he fully recognised the delicacy of the position of Anna Andreyevna, for whom he had an unbounded respect; he was quite alive to the possibility of rumours, of gibes, of injurious gossip.
К тому же он совершенно сознавал всю щекотливость положения Анны Андреевны, которую уважал безмерно, сознавал возможность светских слухов, насмешек, худой на ее счет молвы.

Varvara Petrovna was wounded of course, and meanwhile some strange rumours had reached her which also irritated her extremely, especially by their vagueness.
Варвара Петровна, разумеется, была уязвлена, а между тем и до нее уже стали доходить некоторые странные слухи, тоже чрезмерно ее раздражавшие и именно своею неопределенностью.

It occurred to the imagination that if the head of the injured family still cherished a respect for Versilov, the rumours of Versilov's scoundrelly behaviour must be absurd, or at least exaggerated, and might have more than one explanation.
Представлялось соображению, что если глава оскорбленной семьи всё еще продолжает питать уважение к Версилову, то, стало быть, нелепы или по крайней мере двусмысленны и распущенные толки о подлости Версилова.
