" He stood, stupefied, wondering how he, after all a man of intelligence, could have yielded to such folly, have been led into such an adventure, and have kept it up for almost twenty-four hours, fussing round this Lyagavy, wetting his head.
В остолбенении стоял он, недоумевая, как мог он, человек всё же умный, поддаться на такую глупость, втюриться в этакое приключение и продолжать всё это почти целые сутки, возиться с этим Лягавым, мочить ему голову...

But today, I had barely pronounced the words than I was seized with contrition; it seems as though I am lying, that I have never had the slightest adventure in my life, or rather, that I don't even know what the word means any more.
Но сегодня, не успев произнести эти слова, я разозлился на самого себя: мне кажется, я солгал, не было у меня в жизни ни единого приключения, или, вернее, я просто не знаю, что это слово означает.

— Не хочу оставаться под одной крышей с Роем, — говорит он, дурачась, уже смирившись с перспективой провести ночь в Маунт-Джадже, в старом доме, где он и сам когда-то жил. В конце концов, почему не считать это своеобразным маленьким приключением?
