Дедушка понял. Мало того, проверил. И убедился, что Сарра знает о приходе Гриши... (Рыбаков 1). I reckon that Yosif's hint to grandfather about Sarah had been on purpose....He wanted to get Sarah off his back, but he didn't want to be in debt to grandfather, so he gave him a remote hint, knowing that he would pick it up, which he did. More than that, grandfather did some checking up and was certain that Sarah knew about Grisha's visit (1a)..С первого же дня (отец) стал оказывать бабушке внимание и уважение, к которому в доме не привыкли, и это внимание и уважение само по себе звучало неким протестом.
