Why did her eyes always glow with a strange fire? What else did she want, that witch with a very slight squint in one eye, who always decked herself with mimosa every spring?
Что нужно было этой женщине, в глазах которой всегда горел какой-то непонятный огонечек, что нужно было этой чуть косящей на один глаз ведьме, украсившей себя тогда весною мимозами?

The sun was in front of them, making them squint: every so often they'd make a turn, or pass through trees, and lose it for a minute; then it would reappear, bigger than before, pink and swollen and low in the sky.
Низкое солнце светило в глаза, заставляя щуриться; иногда при повороте дороги оно отступало в сторону или на минуту скрывалось за деревьями, но потом, розовое и разбухшее, вновь появлялось, став еще больше.

Unshaven for several days, his bristly face looked grim and his eyes were set in a squint. He was now close enough for Nikolka to make out the zig-zag braid of a hussar regiment on his shoulder-straps.
Давно не бритое, щетинистое лицо его было грозно, глаза скошены и теперь вблизи на плечах были явственно видны гусарские зигзаги.

Yesterday we were sitting together in the tavern, and the lining of my coat was-- quite accidentally, of course--sticking out right in front. The general squinted at it, and flew into a rage.
Вчера в трактире сидим, а у меня как бы невзначай пола выставилась на самый вид, гора горой; косится он, сердится.
