'Oh look, there's Luke!' I shriek (quietly, so he doesn't hear). 'I simply must go and say hello!'

'No, you don't know what I am going to say!' cried Nikolai Artemyevitch in a falsetto shriek, suddenly losing the majesty of his oratorical pose, the smooth dignity of his speech, and his bass notes. 'You don't know, vile hussy!'
- Нет, ты не знаешь, что я хочу сказать! - вскрикнул фальцетом Николай Артемьевич, внезапно изменив и величавости парламентской осанки, и плавной важности речи, и басовым нотам, - ты не знаешь, дерзкая девчонка!

Half-naked, and thus manacled, they hurled him into the lake, there about twelve feet deep, with a loud halloo of vindictive triumph, — above which, however, his last death-shriek, the yell of mortal agony, was distinctly heard.
Полуголого и связанного, они швырнули его в озеро, достигавшее здесь двенадцати футов глубины, и громкие возгласы мстительного торжества не могли заглушить его последний предсмертный крик, страшный вопль смертельной тоски.

Наконец Эркель, скомкав кое-как свой фуляровый платок, ловко вбил его ему в рот, и крик таким образом прекратился.

Immediately after that pitiful shriek we heard other outcries, oaths, a scuffle, and finally the loud, resonant, distinct sound of a slap in the face.
Тотчас же вслед за этим жалобным криком раздались другие крики, ругательства, возня и наконец ясные, звонкие, отчетливые удары ладонью руки по лицу.
