She did not care for a brilliant marriage; she was eminently a woman calculated to soothe and sweeten the life of any man; decidedly pretty, if not absolutely handsome.
Блеска она не любила, не только не грозила хлопотами и крутым переворотом, но могла даже усладить и успокоить жизнь. Собой она была очень хороша, хотя и не так эффектна.

Never did a morning watch appear so long to the two young sailors, who were thus deprived, by resentment and pride, of that frank and friendly communion that had for so many years sweetened the tedious hours of their long and at times dreary service.
Никогда еще ночная вахта не казалась столь долгой этим молодым морякам, лишенным из-за своей ссоры и неумеренной гордости откровенной и дружеской беседы, которая вот уже много лет скрашивала утомительные часы их долгого и часто унылого бдения.

Но вдруг — озарение; и вот уже песня сверчка пленяет твой слух; земля, гудя травами, посылает тебе свои запахи; рябь солнца, просеянная сквозь листву, ласкает взгляд.
