Examples from texts

His eyebrows were still black, and so was much of his hair; the sprinkling of grey observable among the latter, graced the former very much, and showed his broad frank brow and honest eyes to great advantage.
Брови у него были еще черные, черными были и волосы, но седина уже заметно их посеребрила и красиво оттеняла широкий чистый лоб и честные глаза.

The moon shone bright; a sprinkling of snow covered the ground, and I reflected that she might, possibly, have taken it into her head to walk about the garden, for refreshment.
Ярко светил месяц; снег, сверкая, покрывал землю, и мне подумалось, что, может быть, Кэти взбрело на ум выйти в сад освежиться.

When the priest had blessed it, sprinkling it crosswise, he returned it to Fortune, who slipped it upon Rosalie's finger. Her hand was still discoloured with grass-stains, which soap had not been able to remove.
Священник благословил его, обрызгав крест‑накрест святой водою, и возвратил Фортюне, а тот надел кольцо на безымянный палец Розали, с рук которой так и не удалось никаким мылом отмыть зеленых пятен – следов травы.

Father Christopher, not as he was in the chaise, but in his full vestments with the sprinkler in his hand, walked round the mill, sprinkling it with holy water, and it left off waving.
О. Христофор, не такой, каким он сидел в бричке, а в полном облачении и с кропилом в руке, прошелся вокруг мельницы, покропил ее святой водой и она перестала махать.

He had a sprinkling of grey hair about his temples. His pointed beard was small and scanty, and his lips, which smiled frequently, were as thin as two threads.
Седенькие волосики сохранились лишь на висках, бородка была крошечная и реденькая, клином, а губы, часто усмехавшиеся -- тоненькие, как две бечевочки.

It is assumed that such a complex effect or a combination of a system of local explosions and sprinkling fire-extinguishing agents extended in time will provide efficient fire extinguishing.
Предполагается, что такое комплексное воздействие, сочетающее систему локальных взрывов и разбрызгивание огнегасящих составов, растянутое по времени, обеспечит эффективное тушение пожара.
A sprinkling of men young enough to be on active service in the military wore the red and blue parade uniform.
Кое-где среди них виднелись одетые в красные с синим парадные мундиры более молодые аристократы, состоящие на действительной службе.

Then, he thought of all the horrors of the gallows and the scaffold-and stopped to watch a man sprinkling the floor to cool it-and then went on to think again.
Потом он вспомнил обо всех ужасах виселицы и эшафота и вдруг отвлекся, следя за человеком, кропившим пол водой, чтобы охладить его, а потом снова задумался.
