I crave pardon of you for making such an officious and simple request - perhaps you are a ranter - or one of the family of Love, or hold marriage rites as unnecessary, as Knipperdoling, or Jack of Leyden?"
Прошу простить меня за такую назойливую и глупую просьбу… Может, вы рантер или из тех, кто за свободную любовь, или, может, считаете брачный обряд излишним, как Книппердолинг или Иоанн Лейденский?

“Sir James!” His voice was lowered. “I crave your pardon if some hasty word of mine may perhaps have sounded improper or unrespectful; but I only knew of your deeds-your deeds as a knight, that is-I had no real notion of you as also a mage...”
– Сэр Джеймс, – тихо проговорил рыцарь, – прими мои извинения, если я по запальчивости тебя чем-то обидел. Я разговаривал с тобой как с рыцарем. Не имел ни малейшего представления, что ты маг.

Indeed, the ENP comes second to co-operation with NATO as a priority for Georgia, in part because Georgians, feeling threatened by Russia, crave security above all.
Вообще-то, ЕПД является для Грузии вторым приоритетом после сотрудничества с НАТО, отчасти потому что грузины, опасаясь России, ценят безопасность превыше всего.
