Christine came to him , laid her hand on his forehead and went away again . And the Persian remembered that , as she went , she did not give a glance at M . de Chagny , who , it is true , was sleeping peacefully ; and she sat down again in her chair by the chimney - corner , silent as a sister of charity who had taken a vow of silence .
Кристина подошла к нему, положила руку ему на лоб и снова ушла. И персиянка вспомнила, что, уходя, она не взглянула на г-на де Шаньи, который, правда, мирно спал; и она снова села в свое кресло у камина, молчаливая, как сестра милосердия, давшая обет молчания.
