Examples from texts

The widow received them—a small, distracted blonde, much reduced by night watching, with a red nose, her handkerchief before her mouth, and wearing a plaid cloak, with the collar turned up, as it was very cold in the room.
Встретила их вдова, маленькая блондинка, растрепанная, измученная бессонными ночами; она прижимала к губам платок и куталась в толстое драповое пальто с поднятым воротником, так как в комнате было очень холодно.

It had come to him by inheritance from an aunt, the widow of a councillor of state, Madame Kardon-Kataev, an excessively stout woman, who did nothing but lie in her bed, sighing and groaning.
Оно досталось ему в наследство от тетки, статской советницы Кардон-Катаевой, необыкновенно толстой женщины, которая, даже лежа в постеле, продолжительно и жалобно кряхтела.

And his mouth was simply watering, the beast, not for the widow, but for the hundred and fifty thousand.
И такая у него скверная сладострастная слюна на губах, -- не на Хохлакову слюна, а на полтораста эти тысяч.

He pictured the ruthless second-hand-furniture dealers and grinning neighbors crowding in here to buy this furniture-- cheap--while Vestal and Biddy stood weeping like a Mid-Victorian widow and orphan with shawl.
Мысленно он уже видел: бесчувственные торговцы старой мебелью и любопытные соседи ввалились сюда покупать его вещи - по дешевке, - а Вестл и Бидди стоят и плачут, кутаясь в шаль, как вдова и сиротка из викторианского романа.

This was the prince's daughter, the young widow of General Ahmakov, of whom I have spoken already and who was bitterly hostile to Versilov.

Mrs. Mackenzie treated her very gruffly and haughtily at first; but as soon as she heard Miss Cann play, the widow was pacified--nay, charmed.

Afterwards he had looked after Ivan and Alyosha, for which the general's widow had rewarded him with a slap in the face; but I have already related all that.
Потом хлопотал он и с Иваном Федоровичем, и с Алешей, за что и получил пощечину; но об этом обо всем я уже повествовал.

At first glance she seemed nothing unusual, a prosperous widow of her middle thirties, regally tall, still quite pretty, particularly if a man gazed upon her from the proper distance or with enough beer in his belly.
На первый взгляд в ней не было ничего особенного. Преуспевающая вдова лет тридцати пяти, царственно высокая, все еще красивая, в особенности если смотреть на нее с некоторого расстояния или выпив изрядно пива.

"It turns out though," I thought to myself as I got into bed, "that he gave his word 'as a nobleman' to marry mother if she were left a widow.
"Однако, - подумал я тогда про себя, уже ложась спать, - выходит, что он дал Макару Ивановичу свое "дворянское слово" обвенчаться с мамой в случае ее вдовства.
