         ♦ "Ну пошло!" - ругнулся про себя Едигей (Айтматов 2). "Here we go," Yedigei muttered under his breath... (2a).
         ♦ "Береги силы!" - прибавил тихо, почти про себя, Штольц в ответ на её страстный порыв (Гончаров 1). "Conserve your strength!" he [Stolz] added softly, almost to himself, in answer to her passionate outburst (1b).
         ♦ Я взглянул на Савельича; старик крестился, читая про себя молитву (Пушкин 2). I glanced at Savelich: the old man was crossing himself and muttering a prayer (2a).

(Залыгин 1)....At this very moment one million, two hundred and fifty thousand grown-up women were discussing the cut of a dress....Another twenty-two million, one hundred and forty-eight thousand were thinking to themselves or thinking aloud what to cook for dinner... (1a).
         ♦...[ Я] с совершеннейшей ясностью убедился в том, что инструментарий в ней [больнице] богатейший. При этом с тою же ясностью я вынужден был признать (про себя, конечно), что очень многих блестящих девственно инструментов назначение мне вовсе не известно (Булгаков 6).... was left in no doubt whatever that it [the hospital] was generously equipped. With equal certainty I was forced to admit (inwardly, of course) that I had no idea what very many of these shiny, unsullied instruments were for (6a).
         ♦ "Повсюду только и слышишь: графомания, графомания. Другим словом - бездарно. А я говорю им - не вслух конечно, а про себя, в своей сокровенной душе говорю: - Подите вы все к чёртовой матери!" (Терц 4). "All you hear everywhere is 'graphomania, graphomania.' A mediocrity, in other words. But I tell them (not aloud of course, but privately, in the secret parts of my soul): To hell with the lot of you!'" (4a).
