3 с повинной головой
confessing one's guilt; hanging one's head; shamefaced and apologeticСтарик Лаврецкий долго не мог простить сыну его свадьбу; если б, пропустя полгода, Иван Петрович явился к нему с повинной головой и бросился ему в ноги, он бы, пожалуй, помиловал его... (И. Тургенев, Дворянское гнездо) — For a long time the old Lavretsky could not forgive his son for his marriage. If, at the end of six months, Ivan Petrovich had appeared before him, hanging his head, and had flung himself at his feet, the old man would perhaps have pardoned him...
[Стёша] сидела за закапанным чернилами столом, вздрагивала от каждого стука дверей. Всё казалось - вот-вот должен войти Фёдор и обязательно с повинной головой. (В. Тендряков, Не ко двору) — Stesha... sat at her ink-stained table, starting whenever the door opened, sure that it must be Fyodor coming in - shamefaced and apologetic of course.
