His hand idly roving across smooth bare female flesh, Thorsby accepted the bit of skinned fruit. It was sweet, melting on his tongue.
Лениво скользя рукой по обнаженному гладкому женскому телу, Торсби взял в рот виноградину, сладкую, тающую на языке.

Alone for the moment, on a solid dun pony, was Peggy Gates, her eyes roving over the crowd in search of someone.
Брет увидел Пегги Гейтс. Она сидела на буланом пони в полном одиночестве и явно искала кого-то глазами в толпе.

One by one the stances before him relaxed, and Carlos kept his attention roving over their expressions.
Пока он говорил, позы Хранителей становились более непринужденными. Карлос позволил своему взгляду блуждать по лицам этих людей, отмечая их выражение.

Whenever Smaug's roving eye, seeking for him in the shadows, flashed across him, he trembled, and an unaccountable desire seized hold of him to rush out and reveal himself and tell all the truth to Smaug.
Каждый раз, как луч драконова глаза, шаривший по пещере, попадал на него, он трясся от страха и его охватывало безотчетное желание выскочить на середину пещеры, снять кольцо и во всем признаться Смогу.

A bold fellow with a roving eye! Not the man to go on being a sorrowing widower for years, no matter how fond he may have been of his wife.
Этот порывистый молодой человек с дерзким и мечтательным взглядом не из тех, кто проводит жизнь в одиночестве, как бы он ни любил покойную жену.

Or perhaps your intention is to excuse Burdovsky, by roving that he took up the matter in ignorance?
Или уж не намерены ли предпринять извинение и оправдание Бурдовского тем, что он ввязался в дело по неведению?

Laid bare under the moon, the town swept toward the Harbor in a complex network of fixed and moving lights. The lamps of aroused homes and defended merchantries stood against roving brands held by looters, or soldiers, or fleeing sailors.
На ней была лишь накидка из мерцающих огоньков. Одни — освещённые вывески лавок и свет в окнах — не двигались, другие же постоянно перемещались — это были лампы и фонари в руках солдат, грабителей, и загулявших матросов.

With the barracks blacked out and roving patrols moving around the camp, that was a dead end, too.
Но, учитывая царящую в казармах тишину и патрули, регулярно обходящие лагерь, это тоже был дохлый номер.

It was a lovely day, bright and not too hot, a fresh sportive breeze roved over the earth with temperate rustle and frolic, setting all things a-flutter and harassing nothing.
День был прекрасный, светлый и не слишком жаркий; веселый, свежий ветер гулял над землею и в меру шумел и играл, все шевеля и ничего не тревожа.

His circle of familiar acquaintance, from Mr Lammle round, all had a touch of the outlaw, as to their rovings in the merry greenwood of Jobbery Forest, lying on the outskirts of the Share-Market and the Stock Exchange.
Во всех его знакомых, включая сюда и мистера Лэмла, было что-то разбойничье, так как все они пошаливали в веселой зеленой дубраве мошенничества, начинающейся на окраинах Сити и на Фондовой бирже.

'Ad Deum qui loetificat juventutem meam,' gabbled Vincent, who, squatting on his heels, mumbled the responses of the antiphon and the psalm, while watching La Teuse as she roved about the church.
– Ad Deum qui loetificat juventutem meam , – пробормотал Венсан. Он проглатывал ответы на антифоны и псалом, потому что то и дело поворачивался на пятках и озирался на шмыгавшую по церкви Тэзу.

She could do the most prosy things (though she was wise enough never to stultify herself with such "household arts" as knitting and embroidery), yet immediately afterward pick up a book and let her imagination rove as a formless cloud with the wind.
Она могла заниматься самыми прозаическими делами (впрочем, у нее хватало ума не смешить публику пристрастием к «художественному» вязанию и вышивке), а потом сразу взяться за книгу и дать воображению носиться по ветру бесформенным облачком.
