She was blonde—tow-headed—with clear almond-shaped, greenish-gray eyes, a small, graceful, catlike figure, and a slinky feline manner.
У нее были белокурые, почти льняные волосы, миндалевидные серо-зеленые глаза, маленькая, грациозная фигурка и вкрадчивые, кошачьи манеры.

"You know his father, the captain, 'the wisp of tow,' told us that he was going to bring him a real mastiff pup, with a black nose, to-day. He thinks that would comfort Ilusha; but I doubt it."

When fibers leave the well they are collected into a tow and prestretched.
На выходе из колодцев волокна собирают в общий жгут и проводят их предварительную вытяжку.

The tow of fibers is subsequently stretched with use of so-called non-linear stretching method which is performed independently of the spinning process.
Жгут волокон далее вытягивают методом так называемой нелинейной вытяжки, которую осуществляют отдельно от процесса прядения.

And behind the woman comes a little nigger girl and two little nigger boys without anything on but tow-linen shirts, and they hung on to their mother's gown, and peeped out from behind her at me, bashful, the way they always do.
А за негритянкой выскочили трое негритят — девочка и два мальчика — в одних холщовых рубашонках; они цеплялись за материнскую юбку и застенчиво косились на меня из-за ее спины, как это обыкновенно водится у ребят.
