I used to attend the king's levee once or twice a week, and had often seen him under the barber's hand, which indeed was at first very terrible to behold; for the razor was almost twice as long as an ordinary scythe.Обыкновенно раз или два в неделю я присутствовал при утреннем туалете короля и часто видел, как его бреет цирюльник, что сначала наводило на меня ужас, так как его бритва была почти в два раза длиннее нашей косы.Swift, Jonathan / Gulliver's travels into several remote nations of the worldСвифт, Джонатан / Путешествия ГулливераПутешествия ГулливераСвифт, Джонатан© Издательство "Правда", 1987Gulliver's travels into several remote nations of the worldSwift, Jonathan

"It's quite a levee here," Kapitolina Markovna began in a delicate voice; the kind-hearted old lady was easily intimidated, but she tried before all to keep up her dignity. "Every one regards it as an agreeable duty to stay here."- Здесь настоящий раут,- начала тонким голоском Капитолина Марковна; добродушная старая девица легко робела, но пуще всего старалась не ударить в грязь лицом, - все считают приятным долгом побывать здесь.Тургенев, И.С. / ДымTurgenev, I.S. / SmokeSmokeTurgenev, I.S.© 1919, by BONI & LIVERIGHT, Inc.ДымТургенев, И.С.© Издательство "Правда", 1979
