Citations sur les hommes et les garçons de Léon Tolstoï
Виконт был миловидный, с мягкими чертами и приемами, молодой человек, очевидно считавший себя знаменитостью, но, по благовоспитанности, скромно предоставлявший пользоваться собой тому обществу, в котором он находился. Анна Павловна, очевидно, угощала им своих гостей. Как хороший метрд`отель подает как нечто сверхъестественно-прекрасное тот кусок говядины, который есть не захочется, если увидать его в грязной кухне, так в нынешний вечер Анна Павловна сервировала своим гостям сначала виконта, потом аббата, как что-то сверхъестественно утонченное. [...] виконт был подан обществу в самом изящном и выгодном для него свете, как ростбиф на горячем блюде, посыпанный зеленью.
