Dear all,
Can anyone suggest a translation for this:
Nu, na der¹mo soshla!¹ tikho skazal otets i udalilsya proch¹.
I have no idea how strongly to pitch this. The father is speaking of a
daughter who he seems, on the whole, to be fond of, although he is somewhat
cross at this minute.
Existing translations include The miserable bitch!¹, Well, she¹s in a bad
way¹ and Well, she¹s become decadent¹. (!)
Vsego dobrogo,
R.
