An English nursery governess, who since Anna's illness had replaced the French governess with the boy, sat doing some crochet-work. She hurriedly rose, curtseyed, and nudged Serezha.
Англичанка, заменившая во время болезни Анны француженку, с вязаньем миньярдиз сидевшая подле мальчика, поспешно встала, присела и дернула Сережу.
