притворяться тихоней, иметь невинный, безобидный видWhen a visitor comes in, she smiles and languishes, you'd think that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth: and the minute he is gone, very likely, she flares up like a little demon, and says things fit to send you wild. (W. M. Thackeray, The History of Pendennis) — Для гостей у нее и улыбочки, и вздохи - скромница да и только. А чуть гость за порог - ну как с цепи сорвется, и такие слова говорит, что не приведи господи. (перевод М. Лорие)
