«Но скоро всё перевелось;
Корсет, Альбом, княжну Алину,
Стишков чувствительных тетрадь
Она забыла; стала звать
Акулькой прежнюю Селину
И обновила наконец
На вате шлафор и чепец» (2, XXXIII, 51).
“But soon she dropped her city pose:
The corset, albums, chic relations,
The sentimental verses too,
Were quite forgot; she bid adieu
To all her foreign affectations,
And took at last to coming down
In just her cap and quilted gown” (Chapter 2, Stanza 33, Page 51).
