Только её и видели! (Ф. Достоевский, Село Степанчиково и его обитатели) —...the lady, half crazy over eligible young men, hid her face in her hands, all excitement; then suddenly leaped up from her seat, darted to the window, snatched a rose from a bowl, threw it on the floor near me and ran out of the room.
