He would have answered, but at that moment there unrolled itself from one corner of the studio a veil, as it were, of the flimsiest gauze.
Он хотел было ответить ей, но в этот момент в одном углу мастерской поднялась словно какая-то пелена и заволокла ему глаза как бы тонким газом.

Yet here the water, which, both above and below, was so unruffled, showed a transient quiver, a rippling of its surface, as though it were surprised to find even this light veil cast over it.
Тем не менее, вода, которая и выше и ниже этой купы дерев текла однообразно‑спокойно, возле них была подернута рябью; по ее прозрачной коже проходило волнение, точно она удивлялась тому, что по ней волочится кончик какого‑то покрывала.

Ideas glided like fairies through my mind, lifting the black veil which had hidden till then the glorious future.
Мысли проносились в моей голове, скользя, как привидения, и увлекая с собой траурный покров, который окутывал до сих пор мое будущее.

Still I would penetrate their misty veil and seek them in their cloudy retreats.

The lady of the house herself had long been in her tomb; Marya Dmitrievna had died two years after Lisa took the veil, and Mafa Timofyevna had not long survived her niece; they lay side by side in the cemetery of the town.
Сама хозяйка дома давно сошла в могилу: Марья Дмитриевна скончалась года два спустя после пострижения Лизы; и Марфа Тимофеевна не долго пережила свою племянницу; рядом покоятся они на городском кладбище.

Her long white veil, falling from head to foot, had but an imperceptible thread of gold around its edge.
Ее белоснежное покрывало, ниспадавшее с головы до пят, было лишь чуть‑чуть оторочено золотою нитью.

The old woman returned very soon, supporting with difficulty a trembling woman of a majestic figure, brilliant with jewels, and covered with a veil.
Старуха скоро возвратилась. Она вела, с трудом поддерживая, трепещущую женщину могучего сложения, блистающую драгоценными камнями, покрытую вуалью.

At last the steps sounded close by, and someone coughed. The flickering light seemed to part; a veil dropped from the waggoners' eyes, and they saw a man facing them.
Наконец раздались шаги вблизи, кто-то кашлянул; мигавший свет точно расступился, с глаз спала завеса и подводчики вдруг увидели перед собой человека.

He struck out through the spray, and, for an instant, was dimly seen through that veil, wildly seeking to remove himself from the eye of Moby Dick.
Он упал в кипящий вокруг кита водоворот, и какое-то мгновение они еще видели смутно сквозь завесу брызг, как он лихорадочно пытался скрыться от глаза Моби Дика.

She raised her veil, for an instant, while she preferred the inquiry, and disclosed a countenance of most uncommon beauty, though shaded by a cloud of sadness, which, in one so young, was doubly remarkable.
Задавая этот вопрос, она на секунду приподняла вуаль и открыла лицо удивительной красоты, хотя и омраченное облаком печали, что было особенно заметно у такого юного существа.
