A fire glowed in the fireplace; long, tapered candles emitted a light fragrance that mingled with the soothing scent of herbs.В камине горел огонь, длинные конусовидные свечи испускали легкий аромат, который смешивался с запахом трав.Feehan, Christine / Dark PrinceФихан, Кристин / Темный принцТемный принцФихан, Кристин© 1999 by Christine Feehan© Наумова Г., перевод на русский язык, 2010© Издание на русском языке.

Under the vaults of old chambers there are oak tables and heavy chairs with high carved backs. The walls of the restaurant are decorated with ornaments and frescoes, wall lamps are shaped as candlesticks with burning candles.Под сводами старинных палат расставлены дубовые столы, тяжелые стулья с высокими резными спинками, стены расписаны узорами и фресками, настенные светильники выполнены в виде подсвечников со свечами.© 2000-2009 Moscow-Hotels-Russia.com© 2003-2009 Optima Tourshttp://www.moscow-hotels-russia.com 25.09.2008© 2000-2009 Moscow-Hotels-Russia.comhttp://www.moscow-hotels-russia.com 25.09.2008
I placed his arm-chair by the chimney-corner: I wheeled the table near it: I let down the curtain, and had the candles brought in ready for lighting.Я придвинула кресло поближе к огню, подкатила столик, опустила занавеси и приказала внести свечи, чтобы зажечь их, как только мой хозяин приедет.Bronte, Charlotte / Jane EyreБронте, Шарлотта / Джен ЭйрДжен ЭйрБронте, Шарлотта© Издательство «Правда», 1988 г.Jane EyreBronte, Charlotte© 2009 by Wayne Josephson

He saw candles burning softly through a liquid haze, pinpricks of yellow brightness like islands on a dark sea.Видел свечи, их слабый свет доходил до него сквозь колеблющуюся пелену — точки желтого света, словно островки в океане мрака.Brooks, Terry / The Scions of ShannaraБрукс, Терри / Потомки ШаннарыПотомки ШаннарыБрукс, ТерриThe Scions of ShannaraBrooks, Terry© 1990 by Terry Brooks

The candles at the corners of the pentagram were alight, although this was difficult to see in the daylight.Свечи в углах пентаграммы были зажжены, хотя при дневном свете это не так-то просто было заметить.Feist, Raymond / SilverthornФэйст, Раймонд / Долина ТьмыДолина ТьмыФэйст, РаймондSilverthornFeist, Raymond© 1985 by Raymond Elias Feist
The candles that lighted that room of hers were placed in sconces on the wall. They were high from the ground, and they burnt with the steady dulness of artificial light in air that is seldom renewed.Свечи в бронзовых подсвечниках, укрепленных высоко на стене, горели ровным, тусклым пламенем в этой комнате, забывшей, что такое струя свежего воздуха.Dickens, Charles / Great ExpectationsДиккенс, Чарльз / Большие надеждыБольшие надеждыДиккенс, Чарльз© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1960Great ExpectationsDickens, Charles© 2010 Ignatius Press, San Francisco

By the time the candles have burned down a third, I am ready to break the silence. I say, "I love you deeply and I hope you know that."Свечи сгорели уже на треть, и я решаюсь нарушить тишину: – Я так люблю тебя.

He sounded normal again, and had I not been watching what had happened between the two of them I would have thought nothing more was going on than maybe they needed help with the candles.Он говорил совершенно спокойно, и если бы я не видела, как странно они только что себя вели, то подумала бы, будто он просит меня помочь ему раздать свечи.Cast, P.C.,Cast, Kristin / BetrayedКаст, Филис,Каст, Кристин / ОбманутаяОбманутаяКаст, Филис,Каст, Кристин© St. Martin's Griffin Press, LLC, New York, 2007© ЗАО "ОЛМА Медиа Групп", издание, перевод, 2009BetrayedCast, P.C.,Cast, Kristin© 2007 by P.

There was a knock at the door, and a footman entered to light the candles, draw the long brocade curtains over the windows as dusk deepened, and make up the fire.Раздался стук в дверь. Через секунду в комнату вошел лакей, чтобы зажечь свечи, опустить тяжелые шторы и подбросить дров в камин.Feather, Jane / VelvetФэйзер, Джейн / БархатБархатФэйзер, ДжейнVelvetFeather, Jane© 1994 by Jane Feather
