Потом она вдруг обратилась к князю и, грозно нахмурив брови, пристально его разглядывала; но это было на мгновение; может быть, ей вдруг показалось, что всё это шутка, насмешка; но вид князя тотчас ее разуверил.

I experienced a wild impulse to jest, to startle people, to clap men on the back, fling people's hats astray, and generally revel in my extraordinary advantage.

Maybe a hot night, trees sweatin', mosquitoes too hot to fly, but we shivers jest the same, and turn over, trying to sleep. . . ."
