Сначала он лишь посмеивался над старческой блажью: чем бы дитя ни тешилось! (Максимов 1). Soon after their first meeting in the tearoom, Fyodor had begun to notice that his old folk had taken to making extended visits to Zagladin's pastures, taking their neighbors along with them. At first he had merely laughed at the old couple's whim: anything that keeps them happy! (1a).«Меня вы забудете, -начал он опять, - мёртвый живому не товарищ. Отец вам будет говорить, что вот, мол, какого человека Россия теряет... Это чепуха но не разуверяйте старика. Чем бы дитя ни тешилось... вы знаете» (Тургенев 2).
