      Усталость и рассеянность его исчезли, он встал и решительно заходил по горнице, глядя в пол.
      Ustalostʹ i rassejannostʹ jevo isčezli, on vstal i rešitelʹno zaxodil po gornice, gljadja v pol.
      His weariness and absent-mindedness had vanished; he stood up and began walking decisively around the room, gazing at the floor.
