There was a very great air of dignity in his stand-up collar, in his blue chin, in his small bald patch and his cane.

В его стоячих воротничках, в синеве подбородка, в небольшой лысине и в трости чувствовалось очень много достоинства.

His long pale face, with its enormous receding forehead between the tufts of hair which were brushed forward and skillfully joined to the wig that covered his bald patch, was specially cold and stony that day.

Длинное белое лицо с огромным покатым лбом, выступавшим из-за приглаженных височков, искусно соединенных с париком, закрывавшим лысину, было сегодня особенно холодно и неподвижно.

On reaching his apartments he smoothed his whiskers and the hair on his temples and the wig on his bald patch, and twisted his mustaches upwards in front of the mirror, and then went straight to the cabinet in which he received reports.

Войдя к себе и пригладив перед зеркалом бакенбарды и волоса на висках и накладку на темени, он, подкрутив усы, прямо пошел в кабинет, где принимались доклады.

When he came up to the princess, he took off his hat and bowed. From the bald patch on his head and his sharp, hooked nose the princess recognised him as the doctor, Mihail Ivanovitch, who had been in her service at Dubovki.

Поравнявшись с княгиней, он снял шляпу и поклонился, и по его большой лысине и острому, горбатому носу княгиня узнала в нем доктора Михаила Ивановича, который лет пять тому назад служил у нее в Дубовках.
