- — Я должен вам заметить, Гаврила Ардалионович, — сказал вдруг князь, — что я прежде, действительно, был так нездоров, что и в самом деле был почти идиот; но теперь я давно уже выздоровел, и потому мне несколько неприятно, когда меня называют идиотом в глаза.
- — Ja dolžen vam zametitʹ, Gavrila Ardalionovič, — skazal vdrug knjazʹ, — što ja prežde, dejstvitelʹno, byl tak nezdorov, što i v samom dele byl počti idiot; no teperʹ ja davno uže vyzdorovel, i potomu mne neskolʹko neprijatno, kogda menja nazyvajut idiotom v glaza.
- "I think I ought to tell you, Gavrila Ardalionovitch," said the prince, suddenly, "that though I once was so ill that I really was little better than an idiot, yet now I am almost recovered, and that, therefore, it is not altogether pleasant to be called an idiot to my face.
