You see,' he went on, screwing his head on one side and sucking his pipe assiduously, 'looking at me, I dare say you think I'm not much... but you, see, I must confess, I've had a very middling education; I wasn't well off.Вот видите ли, – продолжал он, скрутив голову набок и прилежно насасывая трубку, – вы, так, глядя на меня, можете подумать, что я и того… а ведь я, должен вам признаться, воспитанье получил средственное; достатков не было.Тургенев, И.С. / Записки охотника т.2Turgenev, I.S. / A Sportsman's Sketches v.2A Sportsman's Sketches v.2Turgenev, I.S.© 2006 BiblioBazaarЗаписки охотника т.2Тургенев, И.С.© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1975
