| The old man was attired in a suit of glistening watered silk, trimmed with steel buttons, beautifully cut and polished. | Старик надел свой шелковый кафтан с гранеными стальными пуговицами. |
| His thin but wiry legs were arrayed in a pair of richly embroidered clocked stockings, evidently of English manufacture, while from his three-cornered hat depended a long streaming knot of white and blue ribbons. | Его худые, но мускулистые ноги красовались в великолепных бумажных чулках с мушками, которые за версту отдавали английской контрабандой. На треугольной шляпе висел пук белых и голубых лент. |
| Thus he came along, supporting himself on a curiously carved stick, his aged countenance lit up with happiness, looking for all the world like one of the aged dandies of 1796, parading the newly opened gardens of the Tuileries and Luxembourg. | Он опирался на витую палку, загнутую наверху, как античный посох. Словом, он ничем не отличался от щеголей 1796 года, прохаживавшихся во вновь открытых садах Люксембургского и Тюильрийского дворцов. |
| Beside him glided Caderousse, whose desire to partake of the good things provided for the wedding-party had induced him to become reconciled to the Dantes, father and son, although there still lingered in his mind a faint and unperfect recollection of the events of the preceding night; just as the brain retains on waking in the morning the dim and misty outline of a dream. | К нему, как мы уже сказали, присоединился Кадрусс, Кадрусс, которого надежда на хороший обед окончательно примирила с Дантесами, Кадрусс, у которого в уме осталось смутное воспоминание о том, что происходило накануне, как бывает, когда, проснувшись утром, сохраняешь в памяти тень сна, виденного ночью. |
| As Danglars approached the disappointed lover, he cast on him a look of deep meaning, while Fernand, as he slowly paced behind the happy pair, who seemed, in their own unmixed content, to have entirely forgotten that such a being as himself existed, was pale and abstracted; occasionally, however, a deep flush would overspread his countenance, and a nervous contraction distort his features, while, with an agitated and restless gaze, he would glance in the direction of Marseilles, like one who either anticipated or foresaw some great and important event. |
