Её речь звучала в лад со сказкой - это наново поразило меня (Чуковская 2). "Had I this little book," said Lyolka as she accompanied me to the door with the baby in her arms, "I would not go to bed, I would read it! Night and day I would read it without closing my eyes!" I was struck again how much her words sounded in tune with the fairy-tale (2a).

     ♦...Сами себе Андрей и Настёна виделись в этот укромный час не настоящими, чужими - настолько покаянно и тихо, смиряя всё вокруг, с полным прощением перед прощанием, отходил этот крутой, горячий день. И они в лад его смирению говорили тихо, почти шёпотом (Распутин 2)....Andrei and Nastyona seemed unreal, strangers to themselves in this secluded hour-that was how funereally and quietly the abrupt, harsh, hot day departed, calming everything around them, with full forgiveness before its farewell. And they spoke softly, almost in a whisper, in keeping with the day's passing (2a).

     ♦ "Да вот товарищ Борщев, - сказал он с легким сарказмом, - предлагает мне вместе с ним отстраниться от активной деятельности, уйти во внутреннюю эмиграцию". Но Борщев был тоже парень не промах. "Дурак ты! - сказал он, поднимаясь и расправляя грудь. - Я тебя только пощупать хотел, чем ты дышишь" (Войнович 5). "Comrade Borshchev here," he said with a touch of sarcasm, "was just suggesting that he and I abandon our political activities and join the inner emigration." But you couldn't put anything over on Borshchev either. "You fool!" he said, rising and smoothing his chest. "I only wanted to feel you out and see what makes you tick" (5a)
