"Sir Geoffrey Peveril," said Bridgenorth, "I have no desire to vex your spirit or my own; but, for thus soon dismissing you, that may hardly be, it being a course inconsistent with the work which I have on hand."
— Сэр Джефри Певерил, — сказал Бриджнорт, — я не хочу вводить в гнев ни вас, ни себя, но я не могу так быстро вас отпустить. Это идет вразрез с моими намерениями.

"Vex not thyself," she answered; "see, I will bid a slave watch thee, and to wake me if thou needest aught; I sleep there, in the outer chamber.
– Не беспокойся обо мне, – ответила она, – я велю сейчас рабыне быть неотлучно при тебе и разбудить меня, если тебе что-то понадобиться; я лягу спать здесь же, в соседней комнате.

A true insinuation makes one wretched - that's unchristian - and to an untrue insinuation a man is indifferent - that's stupid, but at a half true one he feels vexed and impatient.
Справедливый намек возбуждает уныние - это не по-христиански к несправедливому человек равнодушен - это глупо, а от полусправедливого он и досаду чувствует и нетерпение.

Jeanne preserved her equilibrium, somewhat vexed by his rumpling her dress; but the delights of the dance taking full possession of her, she caught hold of him in her turn and lifted him off his feet.
Жанна покачивалась, точно взрослая дама, раздосадованная тем, что он мнет ее костюм, но потом, увлеченная удовольствием, сама, в свою очередь, обхватывала своего кавалера, приподнимая его на воздух.
