«И, близ него её заметя,

Об ней, поправя свой парик,

Осведомляется старик» (7, XLIX, 179). 


“And some old man—when he espied her—

Put straight his wig and asked around” (Chapter 7, Stanza 49, Page 179)




«Приехал и мосье Трике,

Остряк, недавно из Тамбова, В

очках и в рыжем парике» (5, XXVII, 122). 



“And brought along Monseiru Triquet,

Late from Tambov, a witty fellow

In russet wig and fine pince-nez” (Chapter 5, Stanza 27, Page 122).
