This I feigned to say in a gay and jesting manner, yet in reality I was imploring help of the very Dubkoff to whom I had cried "Hold your tongue!" on the night of the matriculation dinner.Это я будто бы был игрив и весел, но в сущности умолял о помощи того самого Дубкова, которому я прокричал: "Молчать!" - на обеде у Яра.Толстой, Л.Н. / ЮностьTolstoy, Leo / YouthYouthTolstoy, Leo© BiblioBazaar, LLCЮностьТолстой, Л.Н.© Издательство "Правда", 1987
