Exercise 19

Translate the following into Ukrainian:

1. His large head was pink, his brown hair thin and dry. His face was boyish in sleep, despite his wrinkles. He was not fat, but he was exceedingly well-fed, his cheeks were plump and the hand which lay helpless on the blanket was slightly puffy.

2. My father was of a dark complexion, with a very great forehead and dark hazel eyes, overhung by eyebrows which remained black long after his hair was white. His nose was aquiline, his smile extraordinary sweet. He was of a rather low stature, not been above five feet seven inches in height; but small as he was, he had a perfect grace and majesty of deportment.

3. This treasure possession of his life was of medium height and colour, with short, dark-chestnut hair; her wide-apart brown eyes were almost dreamy under very white black-lashed lids, held over them in a sort of suspense. She had a charming profile, and nothing of her father in her face save a decided chin.

4. She was slender and graceful, so that she seemed taller than she was; she had beautifully shaped arms and a brightness in her face. Her hair, very slightly reddish hair flowed back from her low broad forehead; the colour under her delicate skin was bright and quick, and her mouth always smiled faintly.
