The cab came out by the gate , and soon having reached the Cours , trotted quietly beneath the elm-trees . The coachman wiped his brow , put his leather hat between his knees , and drove his carriage beyond the side alley by the meadow to the margin of the waters .
Извозчик выехал из ворот и, вскоре достигнув Кур, тихонько потрусил под вязами. Кучер вытер лоб, сунул кожаную шляпу между колен и поехал в коляске за боковой переулок по лугу к берегу воды.
