Text

«Провинциальной и жеманной,

И что-то бледной и худой,

А впрочем, очень недурной;

Потом, покорствуя природе,

Дружатся с ней, к себе ведут,

Целуют, нежно руки жмут,

Взбивают кудри ей по моде» (7, XLVI, 178). 


Then bowing to innate compassion,

They squeeze her hand and, in the end,

Take Tanya in and call her friend;

They fluff her curls in latest fashion” (Chapter 7, Stanza 46, Page 178).
