In one hand I was holding a ragged, long-suffering "Algebra" and in the other a small piece of chalk which had already besmeared my hands, my face, and the elbows of my jacket.
В одной руке я держал изорванную мягкую "Алгебру" Франкера, в другой - маленький кусок мела, которым испачкал уже обе руки, лицо и локти полуфрачка.
