'The guard (regardless of the proverb) [The proverb is: 'At meeting you're judged by your clothes, At parting you're judged by your wits.'] judged me by my clothes and wished to turn me out, but I began to use long words and... you too,' he went on turning to Karenin (whose Christian name and patronymic he had forgotten), 'judging me by my peasant coat were going to turn me out, but afterwards you took my part, for which I am very grateful.'
A kalauz az öltözetem mián ki akart vezetni; de erre aztán elkezdtem kissé nagy hangon beszélni, és... ön is, - mondotta, Kareninhez fordulva, a kinek elfelejtette a nevét, - a bekecsem miatt ki akarta tenni a szűrömet, de később mégis a védelmemre kelt, a miért most is nagyon hálás vagyok.
