      Из предыдущей главы уже видно, в чем состоял главный предмет его вкуса и склонностей, а потому не диво, что он скоро погрузился весь в него и телом и душою.
      Iz predyduščej glavy uže vidno, v čem sostojal glavnyj predmet jevo vkusa i sklonnostej, a potomu ne divo, što on skoro pogruzilsja vesʹ v nevo i telom i dušoju.
